Just wondering how long the life of AR-15 barrel is... How many rounds until you see noticeable accuracy problems?

It's not just the number of rounds you put through it, but how you shoot it. According to Pat Rogers of EAG Tactical, if you fire it at the rate of about 12 rounds per minute, you should get about 25,000 rounds out of the barrel. If you shoot it rapid fire a lot, around 15,000 or so. For the average user, the barrel should last a lifetime.
