Break-in
@ 07:10 pm (GMT) |
Peter BjerregaardHi all,On the topic of break-in several Swedish gun writers swear to their old nickel plated steel jacketed FMJ (m/41). The reasoning being to use the hardest available projectile 'to rip irregularities off instead of covering them with soft copper'. Does this have merit? I mean, bullets are still softer than barrel material obviously.

Andrew MurrayRe: Break-inIt sounds a bit like fire lapping to some degree. Albeit a little more straight forward and perhaps less calculated.Eventually thought any form of abrasion will wear things down. Water on stone is a great example. I used he methods in the Accurizing book. Fortunately my barrel didn't need anything further but I'd be willing to give anything a go if the barrel had exhausted all other methods and replacement was the only other option. |

Nathan FosterRe: Break-inWhat you are describing is a forming process rather than a cutting process. It does have merit. I talked about forming in the Tikka break in video. |

mark whiteleyRe: Break-inwhat I would advise to you Peter is to give the throat a polish before putting a couple of shots of standard ammo through and see what it does,the rifle is going to tell you the truth about whether or not it has faults or is of a rough standard I have heard that nickel plated projectiles can cause a fouling that is nearly impossible to remove, it can lump up near the muzzle apparently good luck with it regards Mark |
