I sprayed the the bolt carrier down with CLP before I fired it the first time.

Always clean a rifle before you go out to shoot it for the first time. I'd not run any CLP down the bore, but a patch or two wouldn't hurt.

absolutely clean the bore. At least a cursory cleaning of the bolt, carrier, etc.

Clean and lubricate the entire rifle per old.ar15.com/books/TM9-1005-319-10.pdf as if you were "changing" lubricants.
I've never seen Bushmaster's "factory lube" posted anywhere and if it's not CLP you'll be mixing lubricants, something that can cause gum up of the moving parts. Won't take you 20 minutes. Clean the barrel per the TM as well: CLP. -- Chuck |

Chuck,
While the TM calls for CLP on the bore, and I heartily recommend following it after the first 300 rounds. My reasoning the CLP will just slow down the 'polishing' that the first few hundred rounds do. After that first range session I clean per the TM. |
