RE: break in of barrel
he didn't sound like he was rushing or just trying to get the conversation over with. he told me how i am supposed to clean the barrel and when. he just said that a lot of people say a lot of things, and said it couldn't hurt, but he said he has never broken in a barrel, and all of his have shot just as advertised. he sounded very relaxed and not rushed. he actually went on on the subject for quite a while.
personally, he is the most qualified person ive talked to yet. and ive talked to more people outside of this forum about it because ive been so darn worried that i screwed up my gun that i saved up for for so long and have only shot 80 times.
do your manuals tell you to break in your barrels?
