[QUOTE="ICANHITHIMMAN, post: 859544, member: 10414"] Ya that sounds off to me, 1-7 is the standard for the m4/m16 family of weapons. Early on with the xm16/m16/m16A1 1-12 was the standard paired with the m885 round. When we switched to ss109, 62g 3mm steal penetrator in the 80s the standard became the 1-7 twist, in the m16/A2 and all of its fallow on variants. As for weapons from the SOPMOD program, I have no first hand knowledge of them at all. The only other twist rates I am aware of are 1-8 that were issued on some DMR rifles for use with the MK262 round in both Army and Navy service. My MK18 was 1-7, 10.5 inch barrel. I shot lights out with 55g black hills sp ammo.
