This video debunks the myth that new firearm barrels do not require cleaning. Brownells Gun Techs Steve and Caleb use a borescope to demonstrate that factory-new barrels, particularly AR-15s, often contain grease in the bore and chamber. This grease can cause extraction failures, pressure issues leading to malfunctions, and in extreme cases, a catastrophic weapon failure or 'KA-BOOM.' The experts advise a simple cleaning with solvent to remove this protective shipping grease before firing the first round, regardless of whether the barrel is a replacement or part of a new firearm.
