i know this topic has probably been covered a hundred times (sorry guys), but what should i expect for barrel life out of a stainless barrel and a chrome lined barrel?
reason i ask is because i just bought a rainier stainless 1in8 14.5". i like to think that i would shoot the crap out of this barrel, but realistically i don't think i'll be able to put more than 2k rounds down rage a year. will this still last me a while? |

Here's a good thread worth reading about a test that bigbore from ADCO did with a SS barrel.

If you are really concerned about wear, have it nitro-carburized. It will last up to twice as long.
