My friend told me that the barrel on the AMD will become inaccurate and break after 3000-5000 shots because it's not chrome lined and it gets too hot? does anyone own one here, can you confirm??

They go for like what, 550 and less? Even at 18 cents a shot that's over 900 bucks in ammo cost.
If the guns cheap enough, run that bitch hard or save it for emergencies with cheap ammo. If you want to save the barrel life pay more money on ammo, buy PMC, and don't mag dump.
Barrel life is a meme. I've shot over 38k of rounds from my old as fuck wasr that I bought 12 years ago and it still lands hits where I point it at 125 yards

Aren't WASR chrome lined though?
>>32079796
Yeah but it honestly doesn't make a difference. Do you know how many bullets those niggers in Africa shoot at each other with AKs from the 50s that aren't chrome lined and they still get kills.
closer to 10k rounds if that
7.62 low velocity n shiet
Your friend is an idiot.
From what research I did before buying my AMD, the main issue with the barrel is the hardness. Supposedly the hardness is really low for an AK barrel, but if I wasn't mislead I believe that is mostly a problem for installing the barrel. Once installed, it should be fine for most average shooters.

I think a 7.62 having more surface area helps. I think mag dumping a 7.62x39 is never going to hurt a barrel like a 224 cal. Yup I went there. .224 lol

Can the barrel be replaced or do I just have to buy another amd? dumb question, i know. but I'm new to this.
>>32079852
Would be cheaper to buy a new gun

that guy just has a different dominant eye than dominant arm. my brother is that way and i was super confused the first time i watched him look down a scope.

Yeah just get a new gun. Doing it yourself requires a press and jig for the barrel housing pins. Its not that bad but then you're having to headspace. Doesn't work like an ar15 thanks to a barrel extension.
