I save money using AMSOIL full synthetic lubricants. Do you?

nah. suffice it to say that barrels are going to be bought. a rep of having a barrel that doesn't last as long as your competitor is one good way to make sure that you reduce your percentage of those sold. this idea simply doesn't hold any water.
the discussion of whether a specific break-in procedure can improve accuracy has been, and will be, discussed till the cows come home, but I've never heard anyone seriously suggest that this is the way the concept got it's start...
never push a wrench...
Did you realize we both spoke of COWS in our responses? Odd. Cows and barrels. Who would have thought there would be a corrolation between the two!

This is what I do:
Now, some people do things differently, but this has worked in the past for me, and all fo my AR and AK rifles all shoot sub-moa out to and inclusing 1000 yards. Every time. You might want to write this down.
Go to the range. Take your gun. Load up 5 pmags, and yes, this will ONLY work using pmags. FDE is best, black a close second.
Load up 5 pmags. Put ONE of them into your gun. Take one shot.
Go home.
Repeat this process for 3 days, 4 if you have a Bushmaster, DPMS, RRA, or equivalent. If you built the rifle yourself, you might as well do this for 5 days, just to be safe. You're not a gunsmith. But if you are, you still need to be safe.
K. So on the sixth day(but not if it's a Sunday), you need your pmags. You should have 5 of them. Between 3 and 5 will onll have 29 rounds left. You will need to bumpfire those while a friend or loved one pours water over the barrel. You can't trust just anyone with this. And your barrel can't get too hot, it will degrade accuracy. I believe it should go without saying that you use COLD water for this.
Next. Clear your rifle. Take out your BCG and put it in a bowl of Coca Cola. Not too long, though, it may completely dissolve. You just want the carbon gone, not the whole BCG. You will need that for the next step.
Replace the BCG and fire one round. At this point you can start to use CP or GI mags, but at your own risk. I don't recommend aluminum mags, because your rifle is made of aluminum and when two metals that are the same come into contact, the gall. I read that on a forum and I have sworn by it ever since.
To clean the barrel, after your 151 rounds, you need WD-40 and a long fireplace-type match. Take off your upper and clamp it in a vise, hold in it place firmly somehow. I bungee mine to the handrail on the back doorstep. Spray the WD-40 into the barrel and all over your rifle. Light the match and slide it into the upper, into the chamber. All of the carbon and anodizing should cook off fairly quickly.
Let cool. Once the rifle is clean you can spray it off with the hose and put it back together.
K guys obviously this is a joke(don't try this at home), I'm going nuts waiting for my DDM4 to show up. Just got confirmation it's been delivered! What a long week! Going to pick 'er up, will give a report in a few!
this thread is too long! proper break-in: clean, oil, shoot, repeat.
How appropriate a subject. Please follow this link and see what a recent DPMS owner alleges happened to him. This is exactly why you should ALWAYS inspect your weapon and know what you are looking for.

Sorry, Didn't know that you had to log in to read it. I'll post it here.
I just bought a DPMS ar15. I know the platform well having spent 4yrs in the Army Infantry. When I got it home and broke it down,the buffer spring came flying out! There is no buffer or buffer retainer. Its a new gun so it should be there. It is an entry level ar15 so is this a corner they cut to keep price down? My dealer is calling the supplier on monday, but I figured one of you heere would know. THNX in advance.
