I cleaned my guns before firing and also inspected them. I clean my guns after firing them and inspect them again. There are lots of you-tubers taking products and money from various interests that only exist to separate us from out hard earned cash. This guy is NOT one of those.

It's crazy how popular the myth of breaking in a firearm is. There's experts out there that base their years of experience on this claim too.... On another note, I used to work as a gunsmith at our local shop & range and you wouldn't believe the amount of people that would take their newly purchased firearm straight to the range and put anywhere from 50-250 shots through the firearm without ever taking it apart and removing all the sticky factory grease and lubing the points of friction. I would see brand new guns come back looking like guns that have fired over 1-2k rounds because of this. I didn't get many opportunities to help with selling but whenever I did I would try my best to educate the buyer about their new firearm and I would ask if they mind if I take it apart and show them how to clean and care for their firearm, "the ones that were new or didn't know any better". The vast majority of them would say they would never even consider to think about taking apart their new gun before putting their first shots through it. You do an amazing job at educating people on the topic and I personally learn something new or have a different way of looking at certain situations and problems from a different angle thanks to you! You do an awesome job at taking whatever the topic may be and making it as easy and simple to understand possible while still asserting the importance in whatever the topic may be. THANK YOU!

Sir: You are without question, the most experienced, most knowledgeable and best teacher on the web. I am so glad I found you. You have taught me a great deal. I have grown up with guns and shot and killed my first deer when I was 8 years old. I am was a farm boy taught by my father. Now more than 60 years later, I have renewed my interest in guns. In an attempt to renew my skills and bring myself up to date I have turned to the internet mostly to find a plethora of commandos who are gung-ho enthusiasts who have little or nothing to offer me although they all are self professed know-it-alls who differ widely in individual opinions of what to do and how to do it. You have affirmed many of the things my dad taught me about guns and have taught me important new things. Thanks for your information and efforts. Please continue. Your new subscriber...

Same for me Boss Hogg - I got 5 of them, just bought a Bergara Hunter B-14 sweet shooting rifle too - 24 inch barrel.

Just watched a barrel maker's comments on break in. He said the same thing. Clean it before shooting it. Then just go shoot it. And, he said, be careful cleaning it and don't over-clean it. This fellow here makes a whole lot of common sense to me.

Your videos are extremely reassuring and comforting to us. The "information" out there seems to be counter common sense driven by those either trying to sell something we don't really need or by people who simply don't have any long term practical experience and don't know what they're talking about.

Excellent, thank you! Once again, it's so refreshing to hear information that's rational, and not based on conjecture or product-pandering. I've been taking your advice in the way I clean my firearms for some time now, and the results are crystal clear, in that every single one of them remains much cleaner for far longer, and is far more accurate. Also, because I'm not over-oiling every little part of the weapon, there's been absolutely no globs of gunk to have to clean out of it. The proof is in the pudding.

Get to know them and if they so inspire you, be the man you admire. I learned that's how I want to be and I do my part. He's a good dude that's for sure 👍

This is the first video I have seen of yours. I am very impressed with your wisdom and presentation. That you for taking the time to produce this clip. Very informative. I enjoyed your honesty and foresight.

Your videos are the best! They cut straight through the B.S!

Gold! thanks again for your wisdom, was about to go through some voodoo when I get my new Tikka T3x .223, but now I just give it a once over clean and ready to go!

I am constantly amazed at how much I have learned from these videos. After using rifles on the farm for over 30 years, I've only just now decided to take up target shooting at a range. I have a new rifle for this on the way, a new scope on the way, a set of specially selected mounting rings on the way and i am going to mount the scope myself and I am confident, sight it in very acurrately. Without all your videos, I could not have dreamed of doing this. In the past, I always took the gun shops advice and recommendations and let them do everything. How I look forward to this new chapter and understanding rifles, scopes and ammunition as I have never done before.

This is the first one of your videos I’ve seen. I can tell you from a lifetime of Shootin that this by far is the most common sense information that I’ve ever heard a reloader or a gunsmith explain. I really appreciate the time that you put into this thank you for an and lightning video and teaching the soul dog some new tricks.

Simply awesome! Love the idea for the oil cloth... Thanks so much.

Enjoy all your videos. Keep them coming. Thanks!

GunBlue490, I just learned more about breaking in and cleaning rifles in your 40-minute video then a lifetime of listening to so called experts, I sincerely want to thank you for your logic and expertise. Well done and God Bless!

I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this video. It was like listening to my dad 40 years ago. You describe exactly what this type of sport has become today. " Bullshit". Most of the channels on KZread cater more to the sponsors and the products (advertising) than they do the consumers that need that extra little bit of information to make them more assured about what they are doing. I have never bought a new gun before, but I have owned many used. But as a young boy, I don't ever remember my father telling me to shoot-clean-shoot-clean-etc, when we went shooting. It was "be safe, have fun, mind your target and surroundings, and when you are done, clean and oil your gun so it is there for when you need it." Kudos to you Sir for putting everyone that sees this, back on the right path! God bless you and yours!

This video reinforced about everything I always thought. I've found that almost every rifle I've shot over the years had great groups if I could do my part, Jack O'Connor strikes again. And you're correct about old junkyard guns, they often respond like champs when a little TLC is applied. I like guns with "character" anyway. Enjoyed the video!

Very well taught and accepted. Thank you for your precious time in sharing your personal knowledge with all of us who genuinely care. God bless you and Merry Christmas sir.

This man is the Wikipedia of firearms. Every single videos answered my "what if" questions, comparison of methods, and etc. Good job sir!

This is the most informative video that I have seen. This gentleman is extremely knowledgeable and just plain enjoyable. "No need to break-in" Thank You.

Thanks a bunch for this information. Your video sessions are always informative and helpful.

Thank you so much for the awesome video!

Thanks for all of your great videos. I just purchased my first bolt action rifle in 308 Win caliber. I wanted to make sure I would not screw up the accuracy. I contacted the manufacturer (Thompson Center) and they told me that their barrels DO NOT need a break in. You are absolutely correct in your assumptions and recommendations. Thanks again, and Happy New Year to you and yours!

I will take knowledge from a fellow shooter with years of experience over these young guys any day. He has done it for years,,,,what more do you need?

31:36 "...its not a big deal, don't expect it to reach some sort of mystical level where you have do special incantations over your gun..." wow, you had me laughing hard right there! Love your videos, GunBlue!

Love your candor, honesty and vast knowledge. I am a lifelong shooter and simply love the art of the firearm and shooting. I am fairly knowledgeable, but never contend that I am some sort of expert, so I truly enjoy listening to those, like you, who actually ARE experts. I am fortunate to say that my father is one, as well, and I have always listened very closely to his instruction. On one hand, I am quite surprised that you don't have at LEAST a six-digit subscription count, but then again, I am not. The problem is that there are so many "experts" on KZread these days who mostly profess their "vast" knowledge of "tactical-type" firearms made of plastic, aluminum and some steel. I am not dismissing such firearms or the people who enjoy them, but I do find it a bit sad that the fine works of yesterday made of wood and steel (pre-64 Winchesters, pre-Garcia Sakos, model 99 Savages, Mannlicher Schoenauers, etc.) have been replaced with AR15s saddled with 15lbs of flashlights, lasers and, quite possibly, even a damn RedBull vending machine! Such owners have come to be known as "Mall Ninjas," a term that is perfectly befitting. As a "minimalist and purist" type, I like AR15s and the like (WITHOUT every possible accessory known to man, however), and they do serve some purpose in modern shooting/hunting, but I much prefer the beauty of a classic, lovingly-used bolt action. At any rate, thank you for your extremely informative videos. I have watched many and will continue to do so. May God bless you and your family.

I also love your apron from Central Grocery in NOLA; you must've bought that as a tourist because your workshop is obviously in a basement and there are no basements in southern LA.

Watched one of those high end barrel makers say basically same thing.. break in procedures wear out barrels faster so they sell more barrels... So hell yeah love this guy!!!

Same here! Never did a break in on any firearm I've ever owned. Accurate with normal use. Another great video!

This contradicts so many of the other guntubers. I believe this video. Thanks for the good information!

Im in the same boat. You just clean the bore initially to be sure it's clear oil grease and possibly swaf, then shoot and clean it rifle as you should to keep it from fouling

Years ago while working as a fireman for a local department in California, I decided to clean one of my guns on the kitchen table of the fire station one evening. Of course I had towels and rags out. Who doesn't like the smell of Hopes #9. Well the old Captain I was working with that day was one of the few who did not. He was quite angry that I stunk the whole station up with Hopes #9. It was late in the evening and quite cold outside, in spite, all the windows got opened…. Cleaning your guns at the fire house… The good ole days… Now days you wouldn't even consider bringing a firearm to the station. Where have we gone… EXCELLENT Video!!! I learned so much… THANK YOU!!!!

Thank you! There is a KZread video where the channel host (The New Hunter's Guide) contacts 21 companies and only a couple had a break in process and only for the cheaper rifles. Totally agrees with what you are saying. Clean it and shoot it was the common response.

You are spot with there being no need to use a specific break in regimen for a firearm, that myth went out long ago. The late and brilliant John Noveske specifically stated that specifically after his extensive testing with his own manufactured firearms. Thank you for another great video.

Thanks GunBlue. Your wisdom is legendary. One sad thing about the US firearms industry and hunting/shooting-media is the pathetic collusion between the two.

Thank you sir for reinforcing a common sense approach to use and care of a new rifle. Unsurprisingly the information provided in the owners manual also states what you have eloquently imparted. Thank goodness for intelligent critical thought.

When I was a teenager, I helped my father clean out the crawlspace under a house of an old man who had recently passed away. His younger brother paid us to remove everything and we got to keep what we found if we wanted it. The rest went to scrap, was thrown in the trash or burned. He was a bit of a hoarder so we probably pulled about 20 tons of material out including wood, brass, copper, lead, aluminum and whatnot. We got a few thousand dollars out of the metals and used the money from what we scrapped to pay for a bear hunt up in Northern Quebec. The coolest part of the story for me is that I was fairly young and the only gun I had was a single shot 12-gauge that I paid $60 for when I turned 14. Towards the end of that scrapping job I located an old single shot Remington 514 .22LR rifle with nothing but iron sites, just haphazardly sitting in there among some wooden boards. My father said I could keep it since I found it, and he and my brother both already had several .22's, so I took it home and cleaned it up. Other than some damage to the stock finish and some rust pitting on the blueing, the rifle was in okay shape and the bolt operated fine. Bringing home one of the last loads of scrap from that job, at the end of the day, I spotted a rabbit about 40 yards away out in the back yard. I went in the shop and I picked up that .22, chambered a round, rested the gun over the truck hood and aimed for the eyeball. When I fired I thought my eyes had played a trick on me because it looked like the rabbit turned into a piece of stray firewood and when I shot it, it flipped over and lay there, not moving at all. When I walked out to make sure of what I was seeing, I found a dead rabbit with a hole in his head just forward of the eyeball. I figure I missed my point of aim by less than a quarter inch. My mother cooked it up with a pheasant under glass recipe the next night for dinner and it was some of the sweetest, most tender meat I've ever eaten. I got really good with that gun that summer. At 100 yards when I had my holdover dialed in I could consistently hit a 2 inch target with it, and that's including flyers, using bottom of the barrel bulk ammo, with iron sites. My brother and I would have competitions where we would set up quarters at 40 yards and see who could get the most clean holes through them. That rifle would consistently hit close to dead center of that target. I put thousands upon thousands of rounds through it. That was over 25 years ago. I continued to abuse the hell out of it uncased behind the seat of my pickup truck bouncing around for years, and it's a tack driver to this day and so much fun to shoot (I take better care of my guns these days lol). That gun was last produced in 1970, so it's quite old and quite beat up by both of its owners, but it is as accurate as any gun I've ever shot within its effective range. Moral of the story is that you don't need to spend thousands on a perfectly manicured rifle to go hunting or get very good accuracy. Even a beat up old hunk of iron will do in most cases.

well done I had a Marlin XT-22 , $150 gun / non floated barrel / no break in...it would put CCI minimag HP's into a ragged hole that could be covered by the hollow point opening of my 9mm, I don't have electronic calipers, but we're talking Sub 1/4 MOA.....Now I will say that the gun shot consistently better with the barrel dirty rather than clean; up to a point...then the process had to start over If another company's gun (or barrel maker) cost 5-10 times as much as that little Marlin, I would demand that it perform just as well Without an over laborious procedure and just for reference...I had a Mosin 91/30 that hated 147gr military ball--but--203gr Silver Bear softpoint would do 1/2-3/4 MOA after I put in the Huber Concepts trigger....$100 gun, $100 trigger, .50 cent ammo

I just wanted to tell you that all your videos are right on , I just watched the one about Why Not A Glock, Im glad that you bring these things out , and tell it like it is, and this one debunking the break in propaganda, ... The new generation of shooters , from the Participation Trophy generation , have took all this propaganda as the gospell LOL. , Im from the wood and metal generation my self. A lot of the generation of the Black Rifle crowd , dont know what a real blue job is , I miss those kind of firearms, and that goes for handguns also, Just my 2 cents worth ....Keep up the good work

Thoroughly enjoy your video's. For 50 years I have used Hoppe's and Remoil on all my firearms.... I have a Savage Model 66 .22 bolt action that i bought when I was 12 (I'm 57).... it is in pristine condition (the stock has some nominal signs of use); another one of my firearms I inherited from my dad... a Wincherster Model 12 12 guage (serial number dates it at 1929) and it is in excellent condition.... Hoppes and Remoil. About 4 years ago I switched all my firearms over to Frog Lube and so far I have had very good results. Do you have any experience with Frog Lube?

@GunBlue490, your's and Paul Harrell's video's are the only over 30 minute video's I can sit and watch. Thanks for imparting your knowledge and experience. I'm just got a new RI 1911 .45acp, my first handgun. I've been waiting to go shoot it b'cuz I had no idea about cleaning before I shoot and break in.

As a former Marine I love this guy, pure no nonsense advise on how to care for firearms, good job brother!!

"It's a little like brushing your teeth while you're chewing your corn"....love it! (As a new AR builder, I am particularly interested in this discussion and love the educated, experienced, no b.s. knowledge here).

thank you, I've argued with people about using brass cleaning rods because they say a segmented rod will damage the bore. really? me pushing brass down my bore at 1fps does more damage then a 175g hpbt at 2600fps? lol

Adam Earl Well actually, you should mind some cautions. Aluminum segmented rods pick up grime from the bore, and combined with solvent become aluminum oxide abrasive, which is a material used to sand steel. Brass is not quite as abrasive, but it too will abrade as it is soft enough to pick up some particles. It's not the speed; it's the abrasive they become, which is entirely different than a clean bullet. Segments on many rods are not flush, and bump the crown and rifling throat, damaging them eventually. Be sure your joints are perfectly smooth. I recommend a plastic coated spring steel, one piece rod.

@@GunBlue490 could you provide which cleaning rod brand I should buy with maybe a link? I have a Tikka CTR 6.5 creedmoor and a remington 270 win.

@@johnmitchell7526 there are three brands that stick out to me: Montana Extreme, Pro Shot, and JB Dewey. The Montana rods are pricey, but they are very nicely crafted. The Cadillac of gun cleaning rods. Avoid the Cheapo aluminum and brass rods like the plague.

John Mitchell in the ar15 video he mentioned a long barrell rod which has a ball bearing handle. This way the patches (when used with a jag) naturally turn along with the rifling.

I like to use ‘bore snakes’ in my rifles. Easy to use and seems to work well. I haven’t used a rod to clean a rifle in 15 years.

THANK YOU! I was at the range and I saw a guy doing the shoot one clean shoot 5 clean ect. and I asked why he said breaking it in RIGHT. I thought crap I never do that. Glad I don't have to. I clean the new gun then shoot and usually clean it after shooting but not every bullet! Glad to hear!

Well done Sir! As usual, simple, practical and clear... Thanks a lot for sharing this with us. Most respectfull regards from France again. Philippe. 🇫🇷🎯🎯🇫🇷
