going to be breaking in a new RRA complete upper.. is there any best particular way to break it in.
i have heard take a shot, clean x3 then 5 shot groups and clean x3. is this correct, ive also heard people say take a 10 shot group and clean.. when i say clean i dont mean a complete. i mean the barrel itself. using hoppes 9. any advice would be greatly appreciated.. also going to get this acog sighted in zero hopefully. :)

Oil it up, shoot only wolf till it jams, then you'll have an Idea how dirty it can get & still function (worst case w/wolf)

let us know round count.

For a regular AR barrel, there really isn't any "break-in" procedure. Just shoot it and clean it when you are done shooting.

(Some people even suggest that much of the recommended break-in for stainless match barrels may be pretty unecessary as well.)
