Breaking in a 5.56 conversion kit

« on: February 04, 2010, 12:28:14 »

I have 7.62 I put about 400 rounds through. Have switched to the 5.56 kit. Do I understand correctly that I need to do the breaking in again, since the barrel and the bolt are new? Couple hundred of rounds, perhaps?
Intuitively I think I know the answer but wanted to get qulified opinions from the crowd.
Thanks in advance.

Yep, do the break in. If it's a brand new conversion I would if for no other reason than to make sure there wasn't any issue not break-in related.

How many live-ins, how many trips to rehab, maybe-wow-you could even get arrested! All this can catapult an attractive youngster to the front ranks of the media, there to be consulted on the drought in the Sahel, the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids, etc." Carrying the Fire, Michael Collins-Apollo 11 CMP
