[QUOTE="Larry Morgan, post: 994670, member: 4676"] I don't think the extra 1.5" or so (obviously comparing to a 26" barrel) is going to save you from the slow twist rate. The only way it would is if it guaranteed you a higher muzzle velocity. It very well may give a higher muzzle velocity (as instincts would tell you) but it's hard to say if it's enough. I dunno why they would've put an after-market barrel on and kept it at 1/10. Who knows what the original builder's intent was. A 1/9 rate is a pretty good compromise, but a 1/7 is really best if you're going to be shooting the heavier .223 rounds (78gr smk's and the like). [/QUOTE]
