Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Question on effect of twist rate on barrel life.
Posted: 3/18/2005 7:02:41 AM EDT
I've read that the 1:7 twist is somehow related to shorter barrel life vs. the 1:12 A1.

Questions (assume no other variables, ie., same ammo, same lining, same ROF, etc.):  
1.  Is this true?  
2.  If so, can this loss be quantified?  
3.  Thoughts on why this is so?  

Thanks for you input.

Sam

Yes, but not enough that you would ever notice.
