    Not big on the 1/9 twist for the barrels....1/7 would be more attractive....Nice too see you guys are bringing these in though....

    If enough people chime in that they would prefer to see a 1/7" twist, I could probably have this change done from the factory.

    1/7 is okay for heavier bullets.

    40 grain for 1:12 twist
    55 grain for 1:9 twist
    77 grain for 1:7 twist

    Most ammo we get for the AR 15 around here is 55 grain which is optimum for the 1:9 barrel twist. I don't see any 77 grain around much, if at all. Unless of course you reload. I think the people at Schmeisser took this into consideration when they went for the 1:9 twist rate. (German smart!)

    The 1/7 is good if you want your bullet to break apart when it hits its target causing maximum destruction of the object it hits. Good for military application, right?

    I like the 1/9 twist myself. The Zombie will still fall down. The rifle looks real nice and I would love to try this one out.

    More so than that, I would prefer a low profile gas block, properly drilled and taper pinned at the factory over the big chunky railed gas block as it sits right now and then changing it later with a set screw type gas block.

    Forget that, there are way to many 1/9 out there already and there is more heavier bullets becoming available these days, and the war is winding down so more Milsurp in the future.....

    I apologize if this is a silly question, but is this chambered in .223 or 5.56?

    1:7 allows you to shoot accurately shoot quality bullets of almost any weight/length without any major tradeoff. As a rule of thumb, 1:12 is good for up to 55-60 grain bullets and 1:9 up to around 70 grains.

    Heavy bullets may be rare in factory ammo, but they are fairly common as components.

    What I don't get is the railed gas block. Why not extend the railed forend instead?
