One thing for sure, I am laughin at this post. If you have ever put a custom barrel on a gun or viewed one with a hawkeye borescope, you would know how funny your post is.

The barrel break in has a lot of opinions....so do I!
Opinions don't cut squat!!!!
I've never read any documented and tested valid proof of the value of barrel break in!
It just might be the case but the difference is so minute that the testing required is far too extensive to offer statistical valid proof of the value!
Until I read "proof".....not opinion or conjecture.....it's a myth!

break-in helps reduce fouling in a good barrel, if its not lapped its a waste of time.
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 would think breaking in a barrel that was lapped is a waste of time.

Some one submit this to the show 'Mythbusters'. Then we will all know for sure.
EDIT- I posted it on the Mythbusters forum where they get their show ideas from. Maybe they will do a show on it. Go over there and fire the thread up and it might make it on the show.

I have four custom barrels from Shilen. On their website the question comes up on the FAQs. Their response is that they have a break in procedure for their barrels because their customers wanted them to have one.
Me...I'm more of a shoot some, clean some, moderation kinda guy.
