For most of my carbines, whenever I have problems, or notice things like a worn gas tube, malfunctions and so on I work on 'em and fix whatever ails them.
I think I replace a precision rifle barrel about once per year, and a semi-auto carbine barrel once per year.
WOW!! You are putting a LOT of rounds downrange! If you wear out carbine barrels that fast, you are seriously pumping them out! Precision rifles can go at anywhere from 600-900 rounds for a 6.5-284 to 3-5000 rounds for a .308, so I can see swapping those barrels more frequently.
You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
