There is a funny thing about barrels. One company says the life of their barrel is 150,000 rounds (and you can buy it for under a hundred bucks):

And we had the PSA rifle barrel discussion here last year:

https://www.theoutdoorstrader.com/threads/psa-nitride-barrels-good-or-bad.1398647/

I bought a PSA full size rifle upper via their site for $233 with tax included. It's a 1 x 7 nitride. My research says nitride is another name for Melonite and that nitride exceeds mil specs. You hear a lot of stuff on the Net and the PSA employees are dumber than a box of rocks. Sometimes I can tell you they are full of .... well you all know. When I asked the PSA rep yesterday about nitride, he didn't know anything about it and went on to say you can't get but 10,000 rounds max through any barrel. That's a huge difference between the numbers given by Classic Firearms.

So, I'm wondering now, has anybody here ever shot a PSA barrel out? Has one ever failed you under rapid fire? OR are they just uglier than a pretty Faxon barrel? Granted, PSA admits its lower end barrels are not as accurate as stainless, but if I need to worry about accuracy, I'd go for a bolt action rifle or at least a match M1a. Does anyone here have any actual long term experience with PSA or are we all parroting hearsay like I'm doing here?

The PSA Freedom (cheapest) model outlasted the DD rifle (only made it to 2.5k rounds of 5k) that Rob Ski also tested. This is the best evidence I have found about PSA based on a real world test, one that has also found many AKMs failing.

I think PSA is a fine company. I have No problem with their products especially when you want options.
