If there’s anyone that knows the AR-15 platform, it’s the US military. As a special offer for our readers, you can get the Official US Army Manual for AR-15/M4/M16 right now – for free. Click here to snag a copy.
Actually I believe the 1-7 twist is good for the heavier, longer high bc long range bullets. Maybe I didn’t understand what you saying.
do you have anything for a ruger ar_556 barrel
A very good basic accounting. My experience is mostly with muzzle loaders, but even there barrel selection is a highly complicated subject. Projectile caliber, shape, weight, rifling rate of twist and patching material all have an effect on accuracy… at one third the velocity of .223 bullets. i think I have some studying up to do.
Daryl – unfortunately we don’t sell short barrels at this time!
Thanks,
Zac
