How long will these barrels last compared to a standard steel barrel?

I suspect that, like any firearm, if you use it, and don't abuse it, and it will probably last long enough for your grandchildren to enjoy.

I have 2 of their pac-lite uppers and a 10/22 barrel and am quite happy with the quality of materials and workmanship of all three.

I'm trying to wear out a 4" green one. Only about 6 or 7 bricks through it, but nothing noticeable yet.

It has a steel liner, so assuming it's made of the same grade of steel and hardened to the same level, it should provide equivalent life to the original. If it's made of better steel, it will probably last longer.

Good to know. Thanks!
