Things I don't understand -- "Round count"

[gh1950]

since you say a spring is a consumable and not a working part,,,,,, take the trigger spring out of your gun and let me know how well it fires.

I can take the oil out of my car engine, and it will work just as well as the gun -- or I can take the gasoline out, or the battery -- still a consumable, and not a "working part", and so on.

Really not a good example.

I think there is a difference between 'consumable' and 'working part'.
I don't have a link but know that the S&W M&P maintenance package includes the guide rod assembly, trigger return spring, and 2 magazine springs and is recommended at 5000 rounds or 5 years.

I have Smiths, Kimbers, Hi Powers, FN's, Colts, Rugers, Glocks. The Glock 22 has been retired as a truck gun, Since it is no longer my duty weapon..She has I would say close to 40k rounds down the tube. I have to my knowledge only one Fail to Fire. That was the ammo, I have never replaced anything due to ware. I have changed the pull on the trigger added night sites, added extended mag and slide release and added mag well guide. She is serviced after every time in use..I have no complaints, she is not my favorite or the one a carry..But I would not have any question that when needed she will preform.

If it has valves, tits or springs, ,,,,,it's gonna wear out and give problems

In reference to the one with tits, haven't u seen what comes out of them? They don't wear out. LMAO!

I would say relative to care it's like buying a used car.
I don't buy rental fleet cars because someone asked me once if "I know the difference in a rental car and a 4X4.? I said no.
Answer: A rental car will go anywhere.

Moral: its. How it's been treated. But in the spirit of full disclosure I am guilty of asking round count.

Barrel life is almost always thought of in round avg. round count. Mostly applies to rifles and mostly more rounds than your average OTD'er will every fire.

I hate it when they try to sell me a Handgun with the serial numbers filed off and tell me it's from holster wear

ROFL!!!

 

[rdogger]

What difference does it make?

This should never be said on ODT EVER.
