So my last two rifles (AR and a Savage) I bought used so I didn't bother following any sort of break in procedure. But I want to make sure I do that with the new AR I picked up this week and wanted to get some opinions from people on here how to do so. I did some research on YouTube and a couple of the video's were talking about cleaning the barrel out after every shot for the first few (20-100) rounds. Is this excessive?

I'm certainly no expert but that sounds excessive to me.

Man, if you are telling me that full auto mag dumps are bad for a new barrel then I have been doing something very wrong!Comment

Lube and shoot, then clean it and lube.Comment

Granted I'm not an "expert" by anyone's standards but that seems ridiculous to me. In the navy I got a brand new m16a3 once out if the crate and proceeded to put 200 rounds through it no issue. My new Colt LE like your I put 100 through it each of the times I've had it at the range no issues.

I will agree 90% with above. If you bought something with a quality barrel trying to squeeze out sub 1" moa, then use a break in procedure. Otherwise, punch the bore a few times, lube it, and shoot it. Clean it afterwards and repeat. After a while some of mine get shot and not even cleaned anymore other than a basic wipe down. My more expensive ones get a little more detail cleaning.Fuck you. We're going to Costco.Comment

If the barrel costs less than $500 just begin normal use."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

Proper break-in for a normal AR barrel is like proper cleaning of an AK.
They are both exercises in futility.Comment

I shoot new guns until I can not touch the barrel without getting burnt. Let it cool off,clean, repeat.Comment
