Tracer rounds

[wheelza85]

I haven't got a clear answer yet but will shooting high amounts of tracer rounds through an AR cause damage to the rifle?

from FM 23-9:

Soldiers should avoid long-term use of 100-percent tracer rounds. This could cause deposits of incendiary material/chemical compounds that could cause damage to the barrel. Therefore, when tracer rounds are fired, they are mixed with ball ammunition in a ratio no greater than one-to-one with a preferred ratio of three or four ball rounds to one tracer round.

Nothing provides me with as much fun, and enjoyment as does M856....don't let the above statement scare you away from them as I shoot them all the time through Rock 5R SS barrels. Just don't get in the habit of dumping whole tracer mags through your rifle and your barrel won't ever know the difference.
