Thread: Howa 223 are now 1-8 Twists

OK, just received a bit of a pass-the-parcel type response from Legacy Sports. Four different people involved... none of whom seem to like actually reading the question properly. It would appear that yes, the twist rates have been changed for both Mini Action and Short Action .223, from 1:9" to 1:8".

Key information is all .223 barrels are 1:8" twist from serial number B510731 and up.

The twist rate may or may not be stamped on the barrel. In other words she doesn't know.
