Hey guys just traded for a model 112 in 223. It was bought new in about 1996. It has 24 inch heavy stanless fluted barrel,blued action,cheap black plastic stock.
Any ideas on the rate of twist? I called Savage Historical Information # a recording said they no longer offer that service.
Thanks
Put a wet cleaning patch on the end of your jag and measure the length it takes to turn the rod one full turn.
Put a piece of masking tap on the rod with a pen mark so it's easy to know when you've gone one full turn.
I'm gonna guess 1:12, let me know if I win :D
mine is very close to that age and is a 1/9 twist,it loves 69gr matchkings
Thanks guys. Nefarious you are the winner! I was hoping for 1:9 twist. I have some 75 grain A-max that are too long for my 1:8 AR-15. I could load single but that ain’t no fun ;)
I can smell a 22-6mm in the future.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I saw some 1:9 barrels for cheap someplace. The classified maybe?
1 in 14, like my 22-250 bought in 1999
