Recommended Cleaning and Break-in for Rifle Barrels
Bookmark this valuable site

• For the first five shots, Clean the barrel after each shot.

• For the next 50 shots, clean the barrel after each 5-shot group. The Barrel is now broken-in.

• To maintain the quality of the barrel, we recommend cleaning within every 20 shots. The term "cleaning the barrel" as stated above means:

• Use a plastic coated cleaning rod, a bronze brush, flannel patches and a quality bore solvent. Saturate the brush with solvent and make 20 passes though the barrel (10 cycles). Let the solvent soak in the barrel for 10 minutes, then saturate the brush again with solvent and make 20 more passes thought the barrel. Push 3 patches through the barrel to remove excess solvent and loosend fouling.

• That is it, you barrel is clean and should provide you with many more eventful days.

  Good shooting!
