rodp Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Right gents, question for the knowledgable. I bought a new Howa 1500 .204 as a bad weather rough gun, having said that I still have mechanical sympathy and can't stand wilful abuse. In the online manual it mentions breaking the barrel in, and using window cleaner not bore cleaner in between each shot. I understand the need to remove oil and fire a few rounds to "seal" the pores in the barrel but what's the majority view on breaking a barrel in? Any opinions appreciated, what's your preferred method?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
