Is it a S&W M&P AR-15?
Here's what Bushmaster has to say about breaking in a chrome lined barrel:
"After firing a couple hundred rounds, the chrome lining will "polish out" from its light, flat gray, factory-new look to a brightly reflective, polished appearance. During this break-in period, excessive cleaning with solvent or brush should be avoided as that will only prolong the time (and number of rounds) it takes to achieve the final "bullet polishing" of the barrel."
I have other rifles which I fired one, cleaned and repeated five times. Then I fired three and cleaned, then five and cleaned, and finally ten and cleaned.
After that I stopped "breaking in" and clean only when accuracy drops.
