Morning, gents.
I'm relatively new (less than 4 years) as a shooter.
I haven't had time to wear anything out. In fact, unless I hurry up and retire and take a job making holes in decorated paper rectangles, it's unlikely I'll ever accrue that kind of range time.
I have a Marlin 336C (.30-30) and in a couple of weeks Santa will (I've been told) drag a Marlin 1894C (.357) down the chimney.
I'm also anticipating the acquisition of a BLR in .308 sometime in the spring.
Now, from a pressure standpoint, these are all very different rifles, and their mechanisms (actions) are all different (the BLR could be considered a bolt gun, actually).
However, even though I may never personally have the opportunity to process enough ammo to wear out a barrel or action, I'd like to have an idea where that point is.
I realize the numbers for those three will be radically different.
My expectation is that I will put thousands of rounds a year through the 1894C, a few hundred annually through the 336C, and a few (couple?) hundred through the BLR yearly.
Anyone know what the (predictable) wear-out round count is for these rifles?
Thanx.
