Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - An interesting read RE: Barrel Break-in

From the Bushmaster knowledge base:

What is the proper "break-in" procedure for a chrome lined AR barrel?  
(published: 7/25/2003 12:56:52 PM) Article # 167

What is the proper "break-in" procedure for a chrome lined AR barrel?

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.

Good news to those of you who sweat that tedious procedure (that is if you buy into it).
