[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 174474, member: 2852"] Well, actually they can. Most mnfrgs agree and recommend breakin. And I have talked to Mike Rock about it. My last barrel from Rock had tool marks in it that he failed to lap out. His response to me was to keep shooting and cleaning it and they should burnish out with time. In other words, after I get it broke in, they should be gone. If I never cleaned it, then copper would just keep stacking up and they would always be there. While you were talking about it, I was doing it. I was running experiments on this while you were running a phone bill. And I still believe thousands of individual accuracy minded shooter's experiments outweighs any army results of practicality. Not to mention the fact that you still can't answer my simple questions: If break-in (not brake-in) does nothing, why does the cleaning time get cut in half when doing the process? If break-in does nothing, why does the point of impact change while the barrel is being broke in? Why do custom barrel manufacturers lap their barrels if burrs and imperfections do nothing to the accuracy potential of barrels? What happens to the burrs from chambering a barrel or do you deny they exist too? [/QUOTE]
