I was just wondering how to "break" my rifle in. It's a few days away from going to pick up my WASR-10 and I just wanted a couple steps or pointers in how to do it. BTW this is my first rifle.

Dry patch the gas tube/piston so the oil does not get burnt on, swab any greasy big chunks out of the bore, shoot the crap out of it.

It's an AK , AND a chrome bore. How much foreplay does a crack whore need?

does the phrase "cases of ammo" mean anything to you?

Yep -- "cases of ammo"  ! !

But before you start burning up CASES of ammo I would apply any type of grease to the upper and lower rails first.  Even good old axle grease is O-K for an AK  ! !

Now get some grease and get burning  ! ! ! !

I wouldn't worry about it.

Main thing is just to take the rifle completely apart and scrub off all the cosmoline before you shoot it. A light coat of gun oil afterwards should be sufficient to protect it, but getting the cosmoline off is important because it will bake onto the rifle as it heats up and mess up your finish as well as plug up internal parts and even the BARREL if you don't check it prior to use! !

The only rifles that I see really needing a break-in period are choppo parts guns like the CETME which operate better after the parts wear on each other for a few hundred rounds.
