There are threads here that I found that helped... I used a jag with a tight patch, rammed it all the way down, took some masking tape, and carefully put it around the ramrod right at the muzzle and put a mark that lined up with a reference point (used the front blade). I then carefully/gently pulled the rod out and let it twist itself until it rotated 90 degrees and then measured how much rod had come out - end of bore up to masking tape - and then multiplied by 4 to get the full rotation. I got exactly 12" to a quarter ram rod rotation... so 12"x4"=48". I was expecting it to not be super exact and take several tries... but it was bang on exactly 12" first try. Longer twists would be 15 or 16" to a quarter rotation so it would be apparent IMO pretty quickly if you have a longer twist.I can't tell you anything except I got it in the early eighties as I stated. The rifle was in the gun store five years prior and no one would buy it so I did. It must have been made in the late seventies? It was a very fine rifle.
How did you determine what twist you have?
