hey guys, have a dpms with a chrome moly barrel. I know they're not as good as chrome, but how do they rate and what is the typical life out of them(just a ball park in rounds count)? BTW posted this in the uppers/barrels thread, didnt get too many answers from people who have chrome molys Thanks in advance  |
| .223's are not hard on barrels like some of the faster varmint calibers.so you're barrel should go several thousand rounds before accuracy starts to fade. A lot more barrels get ruined by improper cleaning methods and neglect than are worn out through normal use. |

if i remember correctly a std CM bbl can get ~10K rnds (~1/2 of a CL bbl)--h/w, you should wait for someone else who remembers better than myself on the numbers... of course, optimal bbl life can be obtained through less rapid firing and no innappropriate cleaning |
