break in?

[HardcoreSlot]

well just got my T/C Omega and it looks and feels awesome!
im wondering if there is anything I need to do to break in the barrel like a regular rifle?

ive given it a good cleaning all round, to get all the grime and crap off it, anything else?

thanks in advance fellas!

I always found that shooting a couple dozen patched round balls thru a new barrel tended to make it shoot better.

A quicker way is to work several patches of bore paste (like J-Bs or Iosso) through the bore followed by a good cleaning. This will take out any rough spots that might exist in the bore and get you shooting well quickly.

But shooting the patched balls is more fun.

Some rifles just seem to not require a break in period. Others are a little more temperamental. For those you can shoot roundball, or conicals. Some people replace the lube with JB bore paste like Mark said.

I would suggest to get some Shockwaves and powder and shoot the rifle. See how it does.

Works for me... I shoot 20 rounds with JB's - polishes and smooths the bore very well...
