Wow, that's a lot of cleaning. I thought you just cleaned new guns once, from the start. I have one coming today too. Same as yours. Have you or anyone else done this break-in procedure before and felt it is worth the extra time. The posts I've read of Hectors seem to be very informative and detailed. He seems to really know what he's advocating. I'll give it a try if others think it's useful as well. If it matters at all; I use goo-gone to clean.
I can't find it. I've got a Diana Meisterschutz on the way, and want to do it like he suggests. Can someone repost it?
You only go through the break in process once. How valuable is the gun to you? How many years do you plan to keep it? Only you can decide if the reward is worth the effort.

For first 500-700 miles the engine only gives about 75% of final torque.-Y
I guess it’s too late for me to follow Hectors regimen. I got my Meisterschutze on Monday, and I’ve got about 100 shots through it. I did clean the barrel before I shot it, maybe today I’ll clean it again before more shooting. That seems like a really great deal we got of these guns last week, it would be nice to hear opinions from some of the other new Meisterschutze owners.
So is there a benefit to doing this on a gun that's already had several thousand pellets through it, or is it just for new guns?
