ar15 barrel break in?
« on: February 19, 2013, 10:51:32 PM »
just out of curiosity, what are youre methods of breaking in a barrel on an AR15?  I have gotten conflicting info on AR break ins, some say its not neccessary and other swear by it, I have a colt 6940 (never been shot...YET!!!) and was wondering what was your thoughts on this issue, is it neccessary or not?   :shaka:

It's not necessary. By simply shooting your rifle, you will eventually reach a "sweet spot" that's right for you. No special rituals or specific number of rounds.

I've searched for a while looking for an answer to this question. A few people have have suggested a few ways but the majority says pretty much what colt808 said. "Just shoot it"

Clean the grease and other stuff from shipping/storage, lube it up and shoot.

If I had a custom match barrel, I would probably follow the barrel manufacturer's recommendations, but no need for breaking in a chrome lined barrel.

I was kinda hoping that!  I just wanna shoot but read on forums and stuff you shoot 3-5 rnds then clean and repeat for like friggen 100+ rounds, was kinda dreading it!  Thanx

It is what the manufacturer of that barrel says to do.

Noveske says just shoot it for their barrels.

I believe it for a SS barrel, but don't subscribe to it with your standard AR barrel.

i think it was speedtek who posted a ritual barrel breaking in process.  cleaning after every round.  then when you get to 5 its every 5 or something.  maybe he will post it up
