Swiss Arms twist rate?

[UncleWalther]

Quick question the rifling of the Swiss Arms Black Special - what is the rate of twist?

 

[Kampfhamster]

normally: 1:10, but there also barrels with 1:7 out there.

When I asked about the CQBs I was told 1:7

Different twist rates for different models / barrel lengths.

Black Special is 1:10, Carbine is 1:7, not sure on the CQB.

1:10???!!!???

Wow, I was thinking of getting one of those. 1:10 is no good for me.

TSE has a few 1:7 barrels left, I believe. (purchased separately from the rifles)

Even though its a 1-10, I find it shoot 55gr very nicely out to 200m, I havent shot 55gr past that, as ruag 63gr is preferred.

 

[TSE JR]

20" barels 1-10 (classic greens)
16" barrels 1-7 (classic green carbines)
9" barrels 1-7 (CQBs)

Can you get the standard-length CG with 1:7 barrels via special order?

what kind of accuracy are you getting out of it at 200 yards with the 55 grainers?

Last time I had it out i was hitting a 6 by 6 inch steel plate with ease with the bipod out, shooting semi rapid.

I was shooting 55gr selliot and bellot

Its been a while since I've last been to the outdoor range, but Im determined to go this week, so I will post a picture of my 55gr groupings in this thread within a weeks time.

I promise I will scream from the rooftops hoe 55gr ammo works in my swissarms once I find a quiet moment in my schedule.

Ok. I'm sure it'll go bang, but I think most people think that 55 gr in a swiss arms is better suited for shooting the gong than paper punching.

When I get mine I'll be reloading both 63 grain and bulk 55 grain, just because it'll be alot cheaper to shoot, and I don't always need the rifle to be at it's highest accuarcy potential.
