Breaking in a 5R barrel?

[rich56]

Received a 5r MilSpec .223 for Christmas. Is the break in for these same as other rifles? Did the one shot/clean-5 shot clean before, wondering if its necessary on these barrels or is something else prescribed

Whatever... Personally I don't "break-in" anything except a new pair of shoes!

If you want to break it in, just do whatever makes you comfortable.

Get a bore guide, a decent 1-pc rod, and poke it from the rear. Other than that, it probably does not matter. Personally, I would not bother with the shot-clean-shot-clean.

agree, just make you clean it before you start..... some come out of the box with a lot of crap in the bore

Clean it once you get it......Then shoot the hell out of it.. Clean it every once in a blue moon and use a little REM oil to keep it from rusting. Dry patch the oil out before you shoot but even this is only depending on your humidity and or dampness...............Shoot
Shoot
Shoot.........Enjoy....SmokeRolls

barrel break-in I feel is different with everybody , I check with the barrel manufacturer and see what they recommend. I have noticed on some rifles if you do the long drawn out breakin 1 shot n clean thing , for me I feel the the barrel cleans easier.

Here is the steps I took with my 5R, and it shoots .3's with 5 rounds.

I loaded 5 into the bag, shot and did it again till I went through 60 rounds, cleaned her and went home.

I think he meant:

That makes sence. Something to do with the dislexia (sp?)
