Do chrome lined barrels have to be broken in like other barrels? Never had a new chrome lined barrel, only issued and they were always used. Thanks

There really is no need to do any sort of formal break in, as far as I know. Some people like to do the "1 shot, clean bore, 1 shot clean bore" technique, but I've heard that does more damage than good. Just clean it before you take it out and shoot it.

200 rounds is the accepted break-in for a chrome lined barrel. This is just to smooth the chrome. No need to clean during break-in.
