    Gunsmithing Barrel Break In

    Just rebarreled my Remington 700 with a Schneider barrel. Any thoughts on how to break it in. Read some articals that say it is a waste of time. Others say to treat barrel with Sentry Solutions Smooth Kote with BP 2000.

    TRG 22 Barrel Break in, necessary?

    I have used a break in procedure on rifles and not used it. I think you talk to 5 guys and you will get 7 opinions. As far as a TRG 22 goes, has anyone tried it and what were the results, positive or negative. I know this is a never ending debate but just wondering about this rifle as I have a...

    KAC Triple Tap break

    While I do think that Knight's Armament makes some good stuff (some stupid stuff too, but...), I can't for the life of me figure out what warrants the price tag on this muzzle break... MSRP $437.00 At that price, the break better be giving me blowjobs when I am not shooting!

    DPMS LR308 - Initial Sight In & Break In ?

    I bought a new DPMS LR308 and I'm going to the range this weekend. I have a large quantity of 7.62 surplus ammo (Port, Hirtenberger and Radway Green) and am wondering if it would be ok to use it for the initial sight in and for barrel break in. Any recomendations would be appreciated.

    To Muzzle Break or To Not Muzzle Break?

    Gents, I'm kinda in between a choice here... I have a 300RUM and man does she kick. Kinda like it, feels great cracking off a shot knowing whatever is down-range on the buisness end is hatin life even more. But I'll be honest and admit the recoil is most definitly effecting my accuracy...

    Savage MK II FV - Barrel break in, Yes or No?

    So I just set up my new Savage MK II FV. EGW 20 MOA base and a Bushnell 3200. My question is, is it necassary/prudent to break in the barrel on this weapon just as I would any other? I had planned on it but didn't want to waste my effort if it was not a good idea. Thanks as always for the advice.
