Plinking, hunting, training, matches… whatever you’ve used it for, how many rounds have you put through your AR(s)?
What brand?
What parts have been replaced from wear?
What do you primarily use it for?
My no-name home built gun has 7-10k rounds through it. DPMS upper receiver, DPMS BCG, CMC trigger. I did swap the original barrel around 5k, as accuracy was falling off and I wanted something lighter.
I did use it hard and heavy in three gun for awhile, but now it’s mostly a truck/hunting/all purpose rifle.
What about you?
The secret to a long life is to try not to shorten it.

I've got a Knights Armament Co that is in the 5K range, another KAC that is at almost 25K (barrel replacement coming soon). SOLGW that's at about 2k (Only had it since April-ish). 308 Sig w/ about 1k through it. That's all my high round count stuff currently.

Palmetto State Armory CHF Premium, RA trigger, Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8. Just put the scope on and love it. Have had it probably 10 years, 7-10k rounds. Haven't had to replace anything due to wear. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2021/11/full-20231-323606-20211010_143612.jpg)

Just north of 14,000 rounds on a Modern Carbine. Never replaced anything except the butt stock. It’s my retired duty gun.

My training blaster has about 14,000 rounds through it. It's a Bravo Company 5.56 with a chrome lined barrel. The bolt cam pin developed a grove in it and was replaced at 12,000 rounds.... though it never failed.

Colt 6920...5-6K. I have a new barrel that I'm getting to put on.
I am still looking for the perfect apron, one with reinforced knee areas would be perfect.

Ruger AR556 with the MLOK floating rail. Literally like 150 rounds. Just got it a few weeks ago.
Only thing I've put on it thus far is Romeo 5 red dot. I'm gonna do the stock and grip next
