As near as I can determine Jim in Mo is correct regarding the .22 RF. Just keep on shooting them and don't even worry much about cleaning. My old 10/22 has been routine shot and abused until the barrel was so hot you could not touch it. Its still accurate enough for a plinker. If the barrel burns completely out I'll just stick a better one on it. However most of the hot .22 centerfires are another story and have been discussed ad nauseum in other postings.

If you are talking about .22 long rifle you can forget the worrry. I don't think that we could wear one out in 5 generations. That is to say, if you shoot all the bullets you can afford, you can will it to your children, they can shoot all the bullets they can afford and pass it on to their children and so on. I suspect you should be able to make it at least 5 generations before someone will have to check the bore. (A little levity here but the point is, they sure don't burn out for a LONG time). Rust is a bigger concern for most .22's.
