Breaking in a new gun

[whacker1]

I have seen posts on how to break in a new gun, but I can't seem to find the posts.  Anyone like to share with me procedure?

Polishing barrels?

My opinion is you need to do nothing extraordinary. Just shoot it as you would an already used rifle. When the barrel gets too warm, shoot another one and let it cool down. When it's cooled down, shoot it again until hot. When you get home, clean it, preferably with only patches and solvent.

Clean it thoroughly BEFORE you shoot, then just shoot as normal.
I don't like to thermal shock things, so I go slow.
Don't see any benefit to elaborate break in process

Don't see any benefit to elaborate break in process

Nor do I... mostly myth propogated by some arbitrary results. I've found a couple hundred passes with some JB Bore Paste smooths the bore out pretty well... kind of a poor man's lapping process. I've done it with all my new rifles... and I've yet to have one that gets real fouled up.

I don't care who you are. I am not throwing a gun on the ground on purpose, let alone three or four times.

Big_Stick!!!! MY homie!!!

First thing I do when I get a new rifle is take it in the back yard and drop it in the dirt... that way I get it over with. Rifles are tools... I don't abuse them... but they ain't getting the velvet gloves either.

Anyone want to buy a rifle... it's in "mint" condition... I promise

he has/had a web forum. it might be worth it to post a link to it if you have it.
