I've got an armload of modest guns. Some bought new and some bought used. Some they don't make any more. I've always considered a firearm to be something that will last a lifetime or two if decently maintained. Maybe longer. I've been to a museum before.
I was looking at Kel Tec's website, and for the first time ever, I saw a gun maker put a life expectancy on their firearms. 6,000+ rounds. Ok, plus can be six thousand and one to six thousand and infinity. But to come out and state any kind of life expectancy? I've never seen that.
Sure, I've heard of a gun being 'shot out'. Make and model, what type of ammo used, how many shots fired, weather used in, maintenance, cleaners used, how many times run over with the 3 wheeler will all have an effect on overall life expectancy.
How many shots do you think any one of your guns is good for?
