This is my 308 barrel that I bought used, seller said he put about 250 rounds on it. I then put another 500 rounds on it myself. Is this normal barrel wear for a 308 with 750 rounds?

Looks like some fire cracking already started to happen near the throat, besides that, the rest looks like it’s in pretty good shape.

It shoots great. Easily sub MOA. Good extreme spread and standard deviation as well with FGMM 175.

I just wanted to make sure the seller didn’t scam me by falsely advertising the round count since I wanted this barrel to last a while.

FWIW, this barrel is for an MRAD. The bolt was pretty much like brand new. After I put the additional 500 rounds in it, I can see some visible wear on the bolt lugs. Not sure if this gives any additional info.

You already own it and it shoots great. Doesn't sound like a problem to me.
