    Pat Rogers has a standard chrome-line barreled BCM that has more than 29,000 hard use rounds through it! With info like that, I really don't see 90% of shooters ever getting close to the barrel life of most ARs, especially a hammer-forged barrel. Personally, I like hammer-forged barrels because the accuracy is very close to that of a SS barrel with even greater durability than a standard chrome-lined barrel. Even if I may never need that extra durability, it's nice to have.
