My model 1906 .22 rifle is on it's second barrel and it is shot out to a smooth bore now. How many rounds have been down the tube? I don't know but I am the third generation of the same family to own it. My dad told me once that an arcade owner gave him 10,000 arcade shorts when they shut down the place and that he shot them all during the Depression. Said it wasn't until after coming home after WWII in the Marines that he knew how to clean the lead-carbon ring from shooting the shorts. I have had the rifle for over 50 years now and I have put well over 10,000 rounds through it. All I know the old thing still hits what I am trying to hit. Does anybody really know the round count of a well used rifle unless you bought it new and kept a record of every round fired? Most guns let you know when they have a problem.
