[QUOTE="Agunner012, post: 64445, member: 1500"] Interesting comparison to a car engine. I often wondered why you wouldn't want a very light film of oil down a new barrel? Patch some gun oil followed by a dry patch to eliminate the metal to metal. This would allow a longer slower break-in. An old time gunsmith told me that he would clean a barrel before firing it, then lightly oil the barrel, followed by a dry patch. Fire 3 rounds remove carbon and repeat the process for 1 box of ammo. Then clean throughly and shoot as normal. Any thoughts on that idea? Andrew [/QUOTE]
