I've heard lifespans on 500s estimated as low as 5000 rounds, but it's hearsay. I do think that given decent care, they'll last longer than we will.

Ohboy.... I was kinda afraid someone would say somethin like that. This gun has definitely seen close to 5000 rounds, and definitely hasn't been taken care of decently.
Just past the chamber for about 6", the barrel is actually scratched from, what looks like, steel shot. I was able to feel the gouges with a dental tool.
I guess I better have him send it to a smith to make sure it's alright first. Maybe he can use it for spring gobblers next year....
