[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1400574, member: 4191"] Hey, the below is copied and pasted from Barlein Barrels web site. Don't shoot me! I'm just the lowly messenger! :) I was shopping for a new barrel when I came across this in their FAQs section... [B] Do shooting suppressors have an effect on barrel life?[/B] Yes they do. On a gas gun it can shorten barrel life as much as 50%. It does shorten bolt gun barrel life but we don’t have hard numbers on that. What happens is the suppressor is keeping more of the fouling inside the bore of the barrel and with this happening it shortens the barrel life. On the gas guns it also accelerates the wear of the gas port. Which will also lead to bullet failure and damage to the suppressor. [/QUOTE]
