None, just shoot the piss out of it.

I've never seen a 'break-in' other than Bushmaster which says to shoot at least 200 rounds before cleaning the bore.

I took my brand New BCM upper to the range after I cleaned the barrel and proceed to shoot 200 rds thru it for practice. I will do the same thing tomorrow... nothing special, just shoot it.

I found this on the ArmaLite forum for their match grade barrels: http://www.armalite.com/library/techNotes/tnote28.htm Is this of some help to you?

FYI, barrel break-in rituals are not a matter of decided science, even among benchrest and other competitive shooters.

For a chrome lined service grade barrel, I wouldn't go out of my way to clean it above and beyond regular maint.

To be honest, I like to fire lap chrome barrels. I have found good success with this.
