Re: Barrel break in LAR-8
Just go shoot it. I've had a 16" version and still have my LAR-8 Varmint. Both shot under MOA and the Varmint model I've had several 5 and 10 round groups that are 1/2 moa or better. I did not do anything special to the barrel. I just go out and shoot.

Re: Barrel break in LAR-8
My method is shoot..clean..shoot..clean for 10 rounds then start shooting 3 shots..clean..3 shots clean for 10 or 12 rounds then start shooting 5 shot groups at 100yds then clean every 50 rounds or so. My LAR-8 standard barrel now shoots 1/2" 5 shot groups all day if I do my part and its fairly easy to clean after a 100 or 200 round range day. Its not for some that just go shoot it but it has worked for me.

no matter what you decide always use bore guide and good cleaning equipment with coated rods.

Re: Barrel break in LAR-8
Yea what tommy said. My LAR-8 shoots sweet with no break in. Just shoot the shit out of it. On another note...I hope you got the polymer mags with it!

Oh and straight from RRA no barrel break in is necessary. My sister works in sales for them.
