[QUOTE="Two-0-four, post: 252643, member: 9766"] It couldn't be eaiser to measure the twist rate. Just start your cleaning rod with a brush into the barrel from the breach. Once the brush and rod combo are in the barrel a few inches, put a visible mark on your cleaning rod to show a start position against the action. Also put a length wise mark somewhere near the handle of the cleaning rod so you can count the revolutions. It is very, very important to be sure the rod spins free and you don't have your hand on it keeping it from spining freely in the bore so grab the handle only. Next slowly push your cleaning rod into the barrel and stop when the rod spins one complete revolution. Now, put another mark on your cleaning rod at the same point by the action and remove the cleaning rod. Now measure the distance between the marks and that is how many inches between twists, or your twist rate. For instance, if you measure 14 inches between marks, you have a 1 in 14 inch twist.lightbulb Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
