[QUOTE="bryceh12321, post: 332262, member: 16450"] I was just on the SniperCountry website, and seen an interesting article. The author says manufacturers encourage barrel break in only so shooter's have to buy barrels more often. If you clean between every so many shots when breaking a new barrel in (according to this article) it is creating a metal to metal surface more often as the bullet passes through the barrel. This results in a barrel being worn down faster, and the manufacturers gaining more $. There were also several people seconding this claim. Is there any truth to this? [/QUOTE]
