Wear on a normal rifle (no Sbr or full auto) wear will be noticeable after 10k+ rounds, and any decent one has a warranty that will recore for life. Compare that to the cost of ammo and barrels to get there, and they're pretty long lasting.
Unfortunately they do. Suppressors wear out from baffle erosion and baffle strikes.
Have a look at the warranty detail of US suppressor manufacturers. Those that offer lifetime warranty's do not cover normal wear and tear, incorrect threading or baffle strikes. They cover manufacturer workmanship and defects only...for a lifetime.
Wear on a normal rifle only noticeable after '10K rounds' is a generalisation. Some people hammer their rifles. Others change barrels after 3K rounds. It depends. But one thing is for sure...suppressors will eventually wear out or are damaged from operator error.
