| How many rounds before my AK wears out? |
|
This question comes up a LOT on here.
Basically, it comes down to people saying 10,000 rounds and everyone says he is nuts and you can get upwards of 80,000 rounds out of a well maintained gun with a chrome lined bore. So I tend to think I you should be safe to say 40,000 rounds if you clean it and maintain it well. |

I like it how you just averaged it:) What bit your hand in the picture? oh and yes I did try to search for a post for barrel life (so nobody accuse me of not trying!!!!!) |

If you look right above the picture it says "It's a zombie bite". 
Oh and I'm going to say both of the other guys are wrong, and you can get exactly 53,595 rounds out and then the barrel disintegrates. Another zombie reference there for the die-hard fans.

| With a chrome bore and a good cleaning regimen, I’d feel safe going 25 to 30K rounds before a barrel is shot out. The first 20K will be the best, but as long as you’re not out there bump-firing the piss out of it and maintain it then a rifle will last. I’d be more concerned about other parts breakage before the barrel gives up.. |
That about "sums it up"..
