Owners of Norinco AR clones - how many rounds have you put through yours?

Check out Rods video on YouTube - civil advantage firearm training. It's titled something like she's done boys. He shot it till the barrel went.
 
over 14,000 rounds through my 20" Norinco, 4000 through my 10.5.
Have yet to replace the bolt or anything.
No issues besides some stovepipes which are very few and far between.
I am also lazy and don't frequently clean them.

Seems like everyone's mileage varies.
 
2x 20" DA "A1 style" w/D&H mags: 400-500 rounds each, no issues whatsoever
1x 20" CQA w/D&H mags: ~1100 rounds, no issues whatsoever

Pretty low round counts but I don't even recall having a single stoppage with any of the three - which I can't say for my Core15 or Adcor.
 
My buddy had north of 125,000 rounds through his before we swapped the barrel. It was only ever shot at about 10y so that's why it took so long to notice the key holing.

Having said that, its been through a new fcg, 2 buffer springs, 3 cam pins, half a dozen bolts, 4 extractors, 2 gas tubes, 1 gas blocks (has an adjustable now), 1 muzzle brake, many sets of gas rings, a dozen hammer/trigger pins, etc.
The upper has some serious bcg scars, and quite the cam pin gouge.
But its easily over 160k rounds now.

Its used for 'new shooter' groups so that's why such the high round count.

It's not pretty but it still goes bang

I hav only run 20 rounds through mine. It is a very nice rifle to fire. I have not had time to make it to the range, as I have been to busy to make it to the range this year.
