How many rounds should a forged lower receiver last?

I don't know,but I've seen some realllllllllll old M-16's in pics here that are in Cambodia and China and those things have almost ZERO parkerizing left!

As far as actual round count,I'm not too sure. maybe 15-20k bfore the barrel wears out. Oh,wait,you're talking about the lower reciever, right? Probably forever(if you took care of it).

it should never wear out from normal use, semi or full auto.

Other than bubba smithing adventures. I've never really seen a worn out AR-15 Lower. The day you shovel 100,000 rounds through your AR15 (45,000 dollars) will be the day you may need a new lower, but still unlikely.
