[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1063872, member: 229"] FYI, you won't notice a difference in your barrel extension at 1000 rounds. It will (according to what I've read - I've got no personal experience with this first hand) wear the barrel extension out at 1000-2000 earlier than a normal barrel will go - which really depends on which manufacturer you're using as far as barrels - some won't make it to 5000 rounds anyways, others will go to over 10,000 rounds without much loss in accuracy. I did however, just find out that what Sumo said was true because Steve Baldwin can replace a barrel extension for a very reasonable price (and I honestly didn't know he did that sort of thing - I've used him for bolt-guns a lot, but never thought to ask him about barrel extensions on an AR-15). So with that said, shoot steel until you've killed your chamber/barrel-extension and upgrade it for a little bit of money... rinse... and repeat! [/QUOTE]
