[QUOTE="Guest, post: 54763"] I have never had a match barrel so wont comment on them. For a rough factory barrel, if you don't hand lap, shoot one and clean to bare metal is what I would do and have done. You will find that after a few rounds (3-10) the barrel will become much easier to clean. Now you have smoothed out the rough machine marks. Once this is done I go to cleaning when accuracy drops or long storage time. I also don't clean like crazy after the breakin. Just enough to get most of the stuff out. This has worked the best for me on factory barrels. [/QUOTE]
