Just Bought a new Bushy XM-15 ES2 A3 Shorty 16" HBAR. Any suggestions on how I should break it in so as not to cause damage to it? Dog |

What is written below is whats on the Bushmaster Web site and it isn't explicit enough to me...can anyone elaborate on whats written below??? What is excessive cleaning....after every few rounds....20 rds...40rds....??? Anyone had experience with this?? "After firing a couple hundred rounds, the chrome lining will "polish out" from its light, flat gray, factory-new look to a brightly reflective, polished appearance. During this break-in period, excessive cleaning with solvent or brush should be avoided as that will only prolong the time (and number of rounds) it takes to achieve the final "bullet polishing" of the barrel." Dog |
I would just wet and dry patch the bore before you shoot it the first time. I do that will all new gun barrels. Then don't clean the bore until after you shoot at least 200 rounds through it. Lube the bolt/bolt carrier group and upper receiver if needed and go shoot it. You can't damage it by shooting it. |

Chrome lined barrel = Bullet hose!! Just shoot it 200-300 rounds before a real cleaning. All the advise to run a wet then dry patch is good advice. Keep in mind though a chrome lined barrel is for spraying lead!! Have fun with it and let us know how you like it!!
