[QUOTE="7stw, post: 619431, member: 22854"] You can actually figure it out for yourself. It is easy. Remove the bolt, put a patch on a jag and start it into the bore. Make sure that the jag is tightly screwed on the cleaning rod. Assuming that you are using a bore guide, I find it easier. Now, put a dot on the top of the rod, above the rear of the stock. Take note where you put the mark in reference to the rear of the stock. Push the cleaning rod into the bore until the dot comes back around to the top, and then stop. Now measure from your starting point, and that is your twist rate. Now, you have to be sure that the jag doesn't slip, or spin on the thread, as this will not give a accurate reading. I use white out to make the dot on top of the rod. As you push the rod through the bore, you can usually tell if it is slipping , or spinning . A good dry tight fitting patch works best. Try it , it works! AIM SMALL, MISS SMALL, lightbulb:) 7 STW [/QUOTE]
