Round count - Your most heavily used gun (poll)

Over 120,000 through my old CZ75 before I changed the barrel; didn't need to replace the recoil-spring either.

I don't even want to imagine how many rounds I alone have put through the 10/22 that used to belong to my dad. No major maintenance whatsoever, just basic cleaning after a typical plinking day of 500 or so rounds. It does start stove piping a bit during the first brick but a few sprays of CLP tend to help it keep chugging along.

I think i've put maybe two or three thousand rounds through my ruger mark II but I'm sure it will do just as well as that 10/22.

I voted the 25-50k because i know i've gone through atlest 20 orders of bulk ammo. Gun is a sig 226. Only complete clean and soak. Recently ordered new parts for it to make it work a lil better.

I answered too fast... I've logged over 27k on my Hi-Power; but its first major maintenance (KKM Match Barrel lug snapped) was at 13k total (7k after install).

Another 50,000+ mark for the 10/22. Mine's about 15 years old and I used to commonly put a brick a day through it on weekends over the summer.

My Springfield 1911 TRP

Over 20K rounds through it, never been sent to the factory or had a gunsmith work on it.

S&W 625. Around 2500 rounds through it. First gun I ever bought.

Forty someodd 500 round bricks through my Buckmark pistol before I finally replaced the firing pin. Bought a recoil spring and maybe the fourth recoil buffer for it at the same time but have yet to put the new recoil spring in it.

I have a Ruger 10/22 with well over 50,000 rounds through it. I got it when I was 8 and am 22 now. It sees at least 3000 rounds a month, and has since i picked it up. No maintenance beyond cleaning.

About 1,000 through my S&W 620, but it's only a year old.

As for the rifle with the most # of rounds through it--either my M1 Garand or M1 Carbine, with an unknown # of rounds through, but my Garand has a new barrel and was a July '42, so it probably has a few more than the Carbine (with the original barrel).

Of course, my 10/22 has had about 2000 through it, no problem.

This caused me to choke on my water. Reread. Peer at my laptop in confusion... reread again, and then remember the post about the llama .45.

Over 1000 through my WASR-10, never even cleaned it.

G19 roughly 16k rounds, give or take 1k. The only thing I changed is to add night sights (and new magazines).

My high count shooter is a Smith K-22. It's been in the family since the early 70's, and I traded my dad out of it about 20 years ago. A conservative count is something over 200K rounds. There were many many times I'd go out as a kid with 500 or 1000 rds on a saturday afternoon. Guess that was just getting it broken in. I've shot it a LOT since then.

Other than cleaning, generally it needs it every thousand or so rounds, and losing the thumbpiece nut once when it got loose, nothing has been done to this gun. Still shoots very well, like 1 1/4" or better @ 25 yards hand held.


Years ago had an 1866 Winchester copy in .22. Don't know how many rounds thru it, but for some time I was buying 2500 rds a month and shooting most of them thru this gun. Only cleaned it now and then, otherwise it was trouble free.

I have almost no idea what the round count is (10,000+?), but it's been utterly reliable.

I have a Ruger Standard Automatic (aka Mk I) my dad bought when I was 10. It exceeded the 50,000 round mark decades ago and is still going strong.

Siglite-I thought the same thing .Also made me think of this: http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/llama

Had a Springfield Armory 1911 that I shot in USPSA for several years and 800-1000 rounds a week... almost entirely 200gr lSWC just "hot enough" to make Major in cold weather. (5.8 grs WW 231). It lived approx 170,000 rnds before the frame started to crack... lots of spring-sets and Wilson ShokBufs. I replaced it with a Kimber USA Team 2.
