    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.
    Enjoying your freedom? Thank A Soldier !!!

    You say nobody needs an AR15? Well nobody needs a whiny little b*tch either yet here you are!

    Wasn't it Mossberg making them for CA? I think I saw that stated in a different DA-50 thread.

    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?
    If you know how many guns you have... you don't have enough

    I would just like my replacement DA50...
    Confidence, dominance, and well placed shots will allow you to live. Never rely on having more ammo. Treat each magazine as if it were your only one.
