[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 567258, member: 24624"] Use a free spinning cleaning rod with a tight patch. Insert the rod until it enters the rifling and just begins to rotate. Wrap a piece of tape around the rod where it enters the rifle. Mark the rod so that you can tell when it' made exactly one complete rotation and push the rod through the barrel until that one rotation is complete. Mark the rod again according to the reference point on the rifle that you used for the first piece of tape. Push the patch through and then remove the rod. Measure the distance from the first piece of tape on the rod to the second piece of tape on the rod. That's the number of inches per rotation a/k/a your twist rate. Repeat several times to be sure. -- richard [/QUOTE]
