I bought a Ruger SFAR a month or so back. I also jumped into the suppressor game at that time, because I want a lightweight suppressed .308 AR to deer hunt with this fall. So, aside from the can I do not have yet, and the optic purchase that I’m struggling with more than naming a baby and the possible SFAR reliably cycling, I do have a question.
Ruger requests a “200 round break in”. This rifle has an adjustable gas block, and they suggest #3 to break in, then dial down to #2. Setting #1 is for running suppressed. I plan to dedicate my can to this rifle.
Should I do the 200 rounds with or without the can? Is a 200 round break in really necessary? If Ruger says to break in on #3 then dial down to #2, do I break in with the can on #2 then dial down to #1? Do I just buy a damn optic, shoot the rifle, and if it doesn’t run, then go buy a DD5 V3 like I probably should have?
Seriously, break in necessary, with/without the can?
