richjMS 1952 twist rate
Anyone know the twist rate of a Mannlicher 1952 in 243.

Duane Wiebe (CG&R)You can easily measure the twist. A tight fitting patch on a cleaning rod ..Insert it a little way into the muzzzle, make a mark on the rod....then tape a sort of flag...masking tape works fine.. near the handle.
Push in the rod until you make a complete turn, put another mark on the rod..measure between the marks.
Not a new idea...

richjThe 52 carbine shoots tiny groups with 100gr SP. The Rem 700V not so much.
I'll measure it.
Thanks guys, Cool link too

AtkinsonDo what Duane sez! its a simple process, let the tap flag make one full turn and measure the distance in inches with marks on the rod. The gun in question is 1 turn in 10 inches (1X10)
