This is my first build /AR purchase. i searched for barrell breakin threads but did not see any. I know about the first five shots clean after every round method but does anyone lap their barrells or have better suggestions. My rifle is to be used for coyote hunting plinking and a little range work. I want to do everything possible to make it accurate and perform well over the long haul. I will not be a high volume shooter.
I have purchased a one piece cleaning rod, jag, patches Hoppes 9, brush, mop, and CLP.
Please advise.
Specs
DPMS lower (to be replaced with Armalite for cosmetics)
Rock river internals stock trigger
Ace stock
hogue grip.
Armalite 16" target upper. (on sale at Quantico for $470.00 w/bolt and carrier)
"Cheap" tri rail scope mounts for my homemade light
I intend to purchase a burris 4.5 x 14 Bal plex and a rock river one piece mount for more accurate shooting.
I realize that I could of probably purchased a new/factory rifle out of the box, but this one is the way that I wanted it.
