Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - FS2K barrel life
Posted: 5/21/2017 3:41:33 PM EDT
What's the barrel life people are getting out of their FS2Ks?

Being a hammer forged barrel, I would expect atleast 15-20K. However, I shoot my FS2000 so sparingly, I suspect I will be gone long before the barrel is unserviceable.

Agree. Semi-auto fire, plus adequate cleaning schedules, and I think other portions of the rifle will give long before the barrel does. At $300 per 1k on ammo you're looking at $4,500 in ammunition expended at 15K rounds. Maybe someone will chime in who has completed an ammo count/consumption test on this rifle.
