Dekers Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Who knows, not many have! There was a suggestion on a forum a year or two back that someone was already on their third barrel and blew then all away after just a few thousand rounds. I was sceptical at the time something didn't sound right, so who knows. I don't personally know anyone who has worn theirs out, mine is up around 7000 and is still laser like and repeatable.

Kalahari Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 I suppose that if you have people working shifts loading spare magazines and firing as fast as you can, less time than normal usage. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savhmr Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 You mean that people can actually get more than 5K rounds before squib rounds blow the barrels up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 More are cleaned out than shot out with bad cleaning methods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveo26 Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Iv shot 1000s through mine I can't even estimate how many, I only clean it when accuracy goes off badly. It'll still shoot 1" at 100 yards which is what's it's always done, Iv had it 5 years and I bought it S/H then It's a cz452 HMRs seem to have gone out of fashion lately but I can't fault the calibre at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
