| Any break in period on a colt le 6920 barrel? |
|
From what I have read, barrel break-in is a myth, as in it doesn't do anything. It was thought up by barrel makers who sell to bench rest shooters, who replace their barrels after a few hundred rounds or less.
Basically a gimmick to sell more barrels. If someone can prove me wrong, and show me that barrel break in actually does something, I will be more than happy to listen. |

AR3, what's the story with those? Does Denny say on his site? Wow... This pic was from a very old thread in the archives way back in 2005 when I first joined here. If I remembered correctly the barrels are your typical M4 clone DPMS 1:9 4140 steel, all government profile, 14.5" and 16". They were remotely fired at full auto for 200 rounds then the upper was then put in a rack and allowed to cool enough that a bore snake could be run up it and then the firing commenced again. The barrels were not completely cooled, but enough they could be swabbed out. Failures were due to excessive heat they blew up in 18K to 21K rounds, they also had thremocouple probes which indicated the hottest part of the barrel just forward of the chamber. Because of these tests Denny copied the larger barrel diameter of the Colt SOCOM barrels which he incorporated on his Operator midlength, medium contour, mil-spec CMV steel, 1/7, 5.56 NATO chambered, 16" (midlength)/ 12.5" (carbine gas system) barrels. |

I know this has been posted before, but it's one of my favorites.
