I have 2 rifles with lilja 9 twist 4 groove barrels, one was broken in, one wasn't, theres 5 patches per cleaning difference between the 2. I've never pushed a patch through the broken in barrel that came out blue!

I thought a 100 rounds down the pipe laps a barrell, thought that was the whole point of break in.
I would think breaking in a barrel that was lapped is a waste of time.
