BTW Robert: Did you ever do anything with that custom 1:4 twist .308 barrel you ordered?300Blk wrote:I used to know at what rpm a 110-VMAX would blow up, but now I forget. But looking at my old emails, I think nothing could blow up in a 1:8 twist. It took a 1:4 twist to blow up some fragile bullets.
So yeah - 1:8 is not even "fast" twist. The guy at the govt lab that did research on this decided that 1:6 twist was what he would call fast for a 308.

No doubt. I did manage to get 1 ordered. Alotta barrel for $150. Will we see that deal again in our lifespans Robert?
Re: AAC 308 18 inch barrel with 1-8 twist.
I don't know. I designed them after being frustrated with my $800 experience in buying a new barrel for my AI rifle. I think the AAC barrel was worth the original price.
Re: AAC 308 18 inch barrel with 1-8 twist.
Three of us ordered one of these barrels for $149 and only one of them came with a 51 tooth flash hider why?

They are not supposed to come with a flash suppressor. Someone got a freebee.
Re: AAC 308 18 inch barrel with 1-8 twist.
Plus, that's one extra tooth!

There's a time for compromise. It's called later.
