new barrel treatment

[rshackleford]

so i have heard and read many different things, but what should i really do for a brand new barrel?

soak in some odd oil?

spray with some miracle lube?

just get right after shooting?

I do nothing special aside from cleaning everything well before I shoot. I clean after my first shooting session, but rarely after that but I prefer to keep the barrel fouled for hunting. If it never gets wet I clean once a year or if I start to see my groups open up.
