How many rounds could you reasonably expect the 4140 non-chromed barrel to last on the Century VZ2008? Shooting exclusively Wolf/Tula/GT/Bear ammunition. I'm pushing 2,000 rounds through mine and the barrel still looks quite nice.

Well into the XX,XXX range. Depends on how hot you get it, too.

Not sure if every VZ-2008 came with a Green Mountain barrel but I understand most of them did, which is a very good quality barrel.
I think 10k rounds would be a reasonable expectation, but everyone has a different definition of 'shot'. My VZ's groups could double and it would still shoot tighter than my WASR. |
