2 Musgrave Rifles and question

[SABusaBoy]

Here are my 2 Musgrave rifles - 308 Win Presidents model and 22-250 Rem Model 80

Want to find out what the twist rates of both rifles.

308 sal 1/12 twist wees en die 22-250 gaan n 1/14 twist wees
Ek het al gehoor van 308s met n 14 twist ook maar ek glo dit is skaars, ek het die selfde 308 en hys n 12 twist

Die .308 Musgrave in die fotos is nie Presidents Model nie, dit is Vrystaat Mk4, gebou op Santa Barbara M98 aksie, met Musgrave loop en kolf.

Measure twist rate yourself - that way you can be sure because maybe your rifle has a different from normal twist rate for some unknown reason.

Use a cleaning rod with a tight fitting cloth-covered jag. Inset it into the barrel from muzzle end - all the way to near the chamber. Make a mark on the cleaning rod (I apply masking tape at the point where it exists the muzzle). Pull the rod out while monitoring how much it rotates. Once it has rotated through one complete turn make another mark on the cleaning rod. Measure how far between the first and second mak and you have the distance the bullet travels for one complete rotation. eg 12 inches means 12:1 twist rate.

If I've explained this badly, Google "How to measure a rifle's twist rate".

Baie Dankie - lyk my die wapensmid vir wie ek die geweer gevat het, weet nie waarvan hulle praat nie. Geen wonder is hulle nou in die tronk.

Jy hoef wel nie skaam te wees vir daardie 308 met sy SB-aksie nie... Uitstaande kwaliteit vir 'n werksgeweer
