How Many Rounds Will A 400 Dollar AR-15 Last?
This PSA Freedom Rifle torture test pushed a $400 AR-15 to its limits through thousands of rounds of suppressed, full-auto fire. Despite significant wear on components like gas rings and the extractor spring, the rifle maintained impressive accuracy for much of the test, even at extended ranges. It ultimately failed due to common wear items, proving a budget AR-15 can be surprisingly durable but has consumable parts.
