.223? It should be 1:9, thats about all Savage has used in the .223 for quite a few years now. Look it up by serial number on Savages web site under their parts section, it may tell you for sure.
Hey Guys,
I purchased an older model 12 FLVSS that has a black reciever, 26" SS barrel and is pre-accutrigger. The Savage web site shows the accutrigger model has a 1:9 twist. Does the older models also have the 1:9 twist? Is there anything different about ones with the black reciever?
Thanks,
Mike

Or you could just use the cleaning rod method to check it.
I checked the Savage site and it did not have information in the parts area about the twist rate. I did see they put a $1000.00 price tag on a new SS reciever, like someone would pay that!
I used a cleaning rod and it appears to be a 1:9 twist.
Thanks to everyone for your input!
