Good Video on Proper Break-In for Barrels

While I am not this meticulous, pretty much sums up my view.

I really like how every "expert" with a $300 rifle thinks that if they can hit a 4 foot target they are really doing something. Big deal. There are people who are happy with rifles they beat up, there are people who beat up their cars and think that is the way to go, heck, there are guys that beat the crap out of their wives that think that is the way to go.

I do not beat up MY firearms, I do not beat up MY car and I do not beat up MY wife. I maintain them to the best of my ability. If some jerk thinks it is cool to abuse the crap he gets at the pawn shop, it is his freedom, but that is not my idea of cool.

His property, let him do with it what he wants. Hunting rifles get beat up while hunting, can't keep everything mint and whipe it with a diaper all the time. So what if he chooses to throw it on the ground. Big deal

i personally thought the video was funny

Yeah I didn't think I needed to use purple.

Funny video. I always laugh a little when someone goes on a 20 minute rant about how to properly break in a barrel.

That's an oldie but a goodie from a long since banned member of Sniper's Hide. He posted it after a big debate on barrel break in. I liked his posts, he is a very knowledgeable shooter but is probably the single most abrasive forum poster I've ever seen lol. I wish I could remember his screen name now, I'm pretty sure he started the "As real as it gets" forum.

Ahhh, yes. That's him. I always enjoyed his posts but probably because they were never directed at me lol.

The guy in the video goes by various names because he is always getting banned, seemingly for abusing anyone who argues with him. On 24hourcampfire he has a couple of accounts, Big Stick and Boxer. I've been in his crosshairs a time or two.

But he does know a ton about hunting rifles and, if you can get past his strange take on English, he is willing to share. Also from the pics he posts he has owned and shot and absolute pile of rifles. The one in the video isn't a $300 pawn shop rifle, for instance.

Anyway, on barrel break-in, if someone wants to go through the trouble I don't see the harm.

With factory guns, a little break in process isn't a bad thing. The throats in those can be pretty rough at times. Break-in process isn't as much as focusing on the entire barrel, but rather knocking off high edges and smoothing out the bullets path up in the throat and beginning of the rifling. With a good quality hand lapped custom barrel, there really isn't a lot you need to do to them to get them ready.

And yea, that video is pretty funny everytime I watch it.
