M1 in my safe is wearing a 1947 barrel installed during Repair and Refit post WWII.
Where it went after that, who knows? I bought it from the CMP about ten-twelve years ago. I have fired this rifle maybe 2k rounds, or more, slow fire. The TE and MW have not changed since the CMP gauged them. TE=3, MW=2.5.
Careful maintenance the barrel should last thousands of "SLOW FIRE" rounds. Too many mad minutes will take it's toll.
