Can anyone tell me what the twist in my mini14 ranch rifle barrel might be? I looked it up and have found anywhere from 1-7" to 1-14".
I believe Ruger went to the 1-in-7 twist rate when the military went to the 62 grain bullet. The faster twist was better for stabilzing heavier bullets.Ned Kelly said:For many years they were 1 in 7 twist. I know it still was at least up until a few years ago.
As was mine, with the 187- serial number. A good year!Flash! said:mine was made in 1989 and has the 1 in 7 twist....
