The Marvels are the best on the market, but even they wear out after 25+k rds. They do stand behind their product 100%, but expect to start getting a phone call after the third or forth time you send one back with a peened and/or pitted breechface. A friend is full time range staff for a major PD and he fires 250-500rds 5 days per week. 22LR is the only way to shoot and still feed the kids. Accuracy is outstanding, just has some durability issues for extended use, which every other kit has, AFAIK. Often, much worse. If someone were to fit a steel breechface, perhaps threaded and interchangable like on a 1911 racegun I saw somewhere, that may be a potential solution. I'm not sure if this is economically viable for the limited number of shooters who fire this amount of ammo. S/F....Ken M

Addendum: Evidently, the new Marvels have a steel breech insert, so that should fix that issue.
