I do <span style="font-weight: bold">not</span> need to break in the barrel correct?
. </div></div>
Your in the big leagues with that question, so dont expect answers to come light like on INGO.
1st thing someoen will chime in and say is do a search as it's been covered X amount of times in the past.
As for me... go ahead and do the 1st ten rounds clean after each just for posterity, then don't look back. Don't neglect but don't be silly and clean daily. </div></div>
Hahahaa.. Top of the morning to your SIR.. Actually I treid to read up tons of threads here, one thread I really enjoyed reading was like 6 pages long..
The gist I got out of that was this.
• Factory barrels need to be broken in
• High end barrels don't need / require any break in..
I tried to call Ethan today but just got VM.. I was really hopping some other SRS guys would just confirm that a slow steady shoot, not to heat up the barrel at first, etc, etc, etc..
I’m the new guy but I’m learning as quick as I can, especially with this crowd.. Hahaa.. hey I’m trying..

Hey thanks.. I actually saw one similar on Dogtown's and found something that I really liked.. I’m looking forward to seeing how it functions’ in the real world thou, it may look cool but if it doesn’t work it's gone.. ROLEXrifleman gave me a lecture on the does and don’ts of life..
What did he it call it
Oohh yeah the CDI factor.. Chicks did it.. LOL.. yeha I'm not for that.. but if i can both well then..
Hey thanks again for your time and comments..

Asking about barrel break in is nothing to fear. After all, we're here to help right?
Here's a link for ya.
Proper Barrel Break In </div></div>
I really should have seen that one coming.. LOL.. thanks..
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: patches</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Check with the barrel manufacturer and they usually have a recommended break in procedure. Just be sure to clean it before your first round. Even though DTA has already put three down the pipe it is better safe then sorry. My DTA has a Krieger, I think these days they are using Walters barrels. Your best bet would be to check if Walters had any input.
Off the subject, what bipod is that? Looks great
This is a great platform and a pleasure to shoot.
Enjoy and have fun. </div></div>
Clean it first?? I thought most barrel damage happens during cleaning? I also haven’t received my cleaning kit from DTA so I’m a little apprehensive at the moment..
I’ll defiantly look into the barrel manufactures recommendations, I’m really just hopping that Ethan at DTA will be able to confirm that a nice slow shooting is the best way to break it in..
I’m sorry another Newbie question.. Where can I look to find out who made the barrel? I’m looking at this one and it doesn’t seam to say, I cant find anything in the manual either…
Hey thanks again for your time and comments..
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Usdmgtr</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Your going to find everyone has a break opinion. Clean the rifle when you get it... shoot 400 or so round clean again. Repeat as often as possible. Keep an eye out if your groups start opening up before 400. If they do, clean 25 rounds before they started to open. </div></div>
Question for you sir.. sorry..
At what point should I be looking for coppering in the barrel? Just after the groups open up? Every 5-10 shoots at first? Again I'm sorry I'm trying to learn this stuff..
Thanks again for your time and advice..
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Usdmgtr</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Does the hight of the bipod adjust? If not you might want to start looking for a new one. </div></div>
Yeah.. here what it looks like folded up
Maxim extension is around 4” (I think)
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Dogtown</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Let me know how that bipod works out. I didn't think it was stable enough on mine, so I had that RND custom job done (which is a bit overkill admittedly). </div></div>
Will do sir.. I'm hoping to run into you at the one So-Cal shoots, then you can try it out all you want..
