Do you guys break in a chrome-lined barrel ala DSA FAL, or just commence to shootin' with no break in?

I heard 200 rounds straight,probably full auto, seasons them best.

My idea of break in is quality ammo for at least the 1st 2000 rounds and then only good factory and handloads there after.
Oh and it is very important to take a lunch break after the 1st 1000 rounds or so also

100 rounds straight, then clean. None Chrome lined barrels, a different story for me.

Barrel break in is a freakin myth.
No gun needs this shoot 3, clean, repeat treatment!

This started by the custom rifle builders. Some of these exotic calibers have no barrel life to start with so they told customers to do his treatment. The main reason was to wear out the barrels that much faster so the barrel maker can install another barrel that much faster! It's all about money.....

I think we have a consensus. I'll just shoot away.
