A few days ago someone asked about barrel life. I was just looking at my Lithgow Repair Manual and they give it at...
...L1A1---12000 to 15000 rounds.
...L2A1---20000 to 25000 rounds.
Bust out them cases!!!

Those numbers sound right.

Bottom line is the barrel is the toughest part on the rifle. I would expect numerous major part failures before the barrel became unserviceable.

Hmmm...rebarrel every 7-10 years.

OK...sounds good to me!
