I just got a new AR10 & M15 from Armalite. They both have chrome lined barrels. Is this break in just for match barrels or the chrome lined also? I have done this break in on other rifles and noticed no difference in accuracy. I was always taught not to over scrub a barrel and if I fire 100 rounds the manual tells me to do 100 passes with the brush. Seems a little over the top. What do you guys think?
Thanks, Mike 8.4 BREAKING IN MATCH BARRELS ArmaLite® has spoken with several barrel manufacturers. NONE of them recommend breaking in barrels using abrasives. For optimum accuracy and barrel life, ArmaLite® recommends the following break-in procedure: 1. Fire 9 single shots. After each shot, push a cotton patch wet with solvent through the bore. Then wet a bronze brush with solvent and stroke the barrel five to ten round trips. Follow with another wet patch and then a dry patch or two. (We do NOT recommend nylon or stainless steel brushes.) After you finish, wash the solvent off your brush so that the brush won’t deteriorate. 2. From 10 to 30 shots, clean as above after each five shots. Initial break-in should now be complete. For subsequent, normal cleaning, it is suggested that you clean after each range session. It is often suggested that the barrel be brushed one stroke for each shot fired |

Waster of time. Oops, my typo was kind of insulting
