I have been looking around here for a while trying to get a consensus on this topic. I have a new McGowan barrel coming and their site has a very specific break in recommended but the only range close will not allow any flammable liquids on the range so I would have to go, fire a round, take it home, clean and then go back another day etc etc.

I have read a few times that a fire/clean/fire/clean type break in was a regiment designed to sell more barrels. Any facts around saying one way or another that I can look to for a definite answer.

Thanks
