[QUOTE="big green chopper, post: 3833545, member: 46480"] I think you are playing with fire if you dont clean the bolt, chamber, and bore before shooting (this applies to new and used firearms). In some designs this inspection applies to the barrel extension and reciever as well. Here is why: 1. I have purchased both new and used barrels that had defects. One was serious and would most likely have resulted in a barrel failure and that can be deadly or leave you with serious injuries to the face and neck. 2. During cleaning you may discover cracks in the chamber, bolt, or breach. 3. In addition, you may notice any damage incurred by amature gun smithing. Particularly to the bore of a rifle. Most of us are very responsible and would never pass on a firearm that could get someone hurt, but IN ALL CASES, TRUST BUT VERIFY. In summary, I do not clean much and because I don't shoot F-class, I do not do the ridiculous barrel break-in procedures that have questionable affects. However, if you don't clean and inspect before shooting you are gambling. Good luck and good shooting. pew pew [/QUOTE]
