Hint.......................... Not a keyboard kommando here, lol. If it shoot's, I'll tell ya'll, if it don't, I'll tell ya'll and Bear Creek.. when I get the time, I'll mount the bear creek barrel and run some rounds through it. Thinking about just zeroing the glass (swfa 12x fixed) and then running a 50 round group, no break in, no cleaning, just shoot the fugger...5, 10 round groups, changing the target face for each, but using the same backer. That way it should be easier to see what the barrel is actually capable of doing. The backer will have (hopefully, if this 80 dollar pipe will shoot) all 50 shots, so extreme spread, etc. will be visible on one paper, and should (?) give a pretty good overall picture of the capability. I'll try to figure out how to post pics of the process here, or maybe ask one of you folks to post them for me.

Does BCA suggest a certain way to break the barrel in. Is it chrome lined and does anyone actually break in a barrel anymore? I'm talking shoot 5 and clean, shoot 10 and clean, or some other regimen.....Is it even necessary with a chrome lined bore?
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

No idea what BCA recommends as far as break in, but I figure I'll test it like it will be used for the most part. We have a local match, 300 yards, 5 , 10 shot strings, 5 minutes per string, with a 15 minute 'cool down , reload mags' period between strings. No time for cleaning, etc. So...I figure test it like it's going to be used to see if the barrel is worth running.

Dang, $80?! I don't think I can get a blank for that, much less a chambered, contoured AR barrel.
Think the barrels have gotten better since all the Mexxies were arrested?

Break in. For an expensive barrel I refuse not to do it. Its so dang simple anyway. shoot one and clean. for 5, thats getting me on the paper. Shoot 2 and clean, verify, shoot 3 and clean, thats starting to tell me about my randomly picked load. then shoot a ladder and clean. Then shoot 5 shot groups of say the 3 best loads and clean. By then its not going to be fouling, all the edges will be gone. And we can start shooting.
chrome lined, 80 buck tube. Nope, just gonna shoot and see what it does, cause it will give 80 bucks of accuracy only. Generally. Which might be more than enough for most folks uses.
