1 in 8 is awfully steep twist for a 50 cal. Thinking throat erosion, velocity loss, over stabilized bullets. I could maybe see a subtle increase like 1 in 12 IF THERE IS A REASON for it. Most likely they meant 1 in 18.
 
Who's making the barrels? I'd have to ask myself if I would really want them making my barrels as they clearly lack some .50 knowledge with such a suggestion for a 1-8.
 
I saw a short little bear defence carbine length rifle version that was done and I can see a 1:8 in that... so maybe offer both and get twice as many 1:8 barrels out of the same length blank as you would the 1:15?

Did you guys know what kind of length and profile they will have? I'm quite partial to mine with the fluting. The muzzle brake also works like a charm.....

I'm curious if there's any more news on a potential date for this and if my original question might be answered yet?
