RE: NOOB question on new rifle
When i was in the Marine Corps we only properly cleaned our rifles about every 500-1000 rounds. Other then that we would just run a patch with CLP through the bore and clean the areas of metal we hold every few days. I had a brand new rifle and put about 700 rounds through it before its first cleaning.If its so important to do a proper break in why didnt they teach us to do that in the Marine Corps? I have 2 Sub-Moa rifles of my own and have never done any of the break in procedures. I just go shoot and cleanbetween 10 and 20 rouds. Even if im staying to shoot more.
