Are you guys doing anything special to break in your new Sport barrel ?

Conducting a thorough cleaning of the weapon after purchase, then:
1. Shooting it
2. Clean it
3. Repeat Step 1

First, clean the 15-Sport. Bring your cleaning kit to the range. Bore guide, carbon fiber cleaning rod, patch holder tip, brush, jag, and lube. You'll need 135 rounds of brass cased 5.56.

• Shoot 1 round, then clean. Repeat for 10 rounds.
• Shoot 2 rounds, then clean. Repeat for 20 rounds.
• Shoot 5 rounds then clean. Repeat for 25 rounds.
• Shoot 10 rounds, then clean. Repeat for 30 rounds.
• Shoot 50 rounds, then clean.

Just joking.

There is some of the wicked barrel seasoning voodoo floating around on the internet. I've even seen a similar process advocated on the On-Target AR-15 Assembly/Disassembly DVD. I can understand performing a crazy process like that with a long-range, bolt action, sniper rifle or similar.

I broke in my barrel by shooting it. I shot 40 rounds slow-fire. When I got home, I cleaned & inspected it.

Wow breechloader that would make the first couple of trips the the range a lot of work. Did you do that step by step?

 

[Breechloader]

No, mines still a virgin
Thought it odd a firearms maker would have those steps like JaPes posted.
