I just ordered a RRA 18" Varmint with a stainless barrel. What is the proper way to clean/maintain this barrel?

Just like you would any other barrel.

I would just add; do not let strong ammonia bases cleaners soak in the barrel too long.  I've heard that ammonia can cause pitting in stainless steel.  I usually use an ammonia based cleaner for copper fouling and don't let it sit in the barrel for more than 15 to 20 minutes.  By following this procedure I have not had a problem and my barrels stay copper free.
