I doubt it, clean it out to remove anything from the factory and have at it.

I clean mine after the first 5000 rounds.

Not sure about KIDD but Greenmountian supplies a break in procedure for theirs. Basically shoot, clean, shoot, clean etc. with an increasing number of shots between cleaning.

Nothing special required, just standard routine cleaning after your day of shooting at the range.

I broke in my few new rimfires by using them. You are going to love your new KIDD.

Break-in for a rimfire? That's a hoot! What's the barrel life for a 22? 10,000? 20,000?!?

A .22LR barrel can last over 100 000 rounds, even several times that. They do not experience the high pressures that CF barrels must accommodate and the bullets move much more slowly through the bore. Eley, makers of top-of-the-line match ammo like Tenex, report having barrels used in testing that have not had accuracy loss after over 300 000 rounds.
See w w w.eley.co.uk/the-bulletin/barrel-wear-myths-shot-down/ The greatest threat to a rimfire barrel is from improper cleaning.
