Like so many other things, rigorous barrel break-in procedures were copied from competitive shooters - and have little or no usage in field guns.

A Winchester M-94 doesn't need barrel break-in. The ONLY benefit that MIGHT come out of it would be marginally less fouling and easier cleaning. Repeat "marginally."

A 94 isn't inherently accurate enough to demonstarte any improvement that break-in might show. Nor does it operate at high enough pressure or velocity to foul badly.

So it'd be as pointless as downdraft wings on a moped.
