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
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.
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.

If you want to break it in, just do whatever makes you comfortable. </div></div>
DITTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Complete waste of time IMO! shooting the rifle is breaking in the bbl.

I think he meant:
As long as it is lapped, clean it very well initially, then have some fun.
