Got a new PTR 91 and the instructions said that the barrel break in is as follows.
After each of the first 10 rounds run a brass brush down the bore followed by patches with solvent.
For the next 250 rounds repeat the above procedure after each 10-20 rounds.
Total break in period is 250-300 rounds.
Normally I will run my brush and patches from the chamber of the barrel but this means that I will have to dissemble my PTR after each of the fist 10 shots. A giant time consuming pain.
Since my rifle has a flash suppressor would it be okay to clean from the end of the barrel rather than from the chamber end?
Thanks
