World of Firepower 01/2013

At Daniel Defense, they often say it is proud to manufacture the finest cold hammer-forged barrels on the planet. Not only do they hammer forge the rifling of the barrel, but they also hammer forges the chambers. By manufacturing barrels in this fashion, they completely eliminate any tooling marks, burrs or imperfections that can otherwise be present in a barrel manufactured by other means. In turn, this virtually eliminates the necessity for barrel break-in. Out of the box, they recommend that you fieldstrip the platform. Once broken down, clean the bore and chamber with a proper chamber and bore brush to break up any carbon and copper that might be left over from factory function testing. Next, apply some bore cleaner to a cleaning patch and run it through the bore starting from the chamber end. Follow the wet patch with a dry patch and repeat this process until the patches come out clean. Using a quality gun lubricant, apply a thin coat to the inside of your upper receiver, bolt carrier, bolt and charging handle. Once this is done, reassemble and head to the range! Keep these components well lubricated for the first couple hundred rounds. This will help condition the moving parts and make the action smoother.
