    Same here. As soon as a barrel was available I bought one, unfortunately. I have a 6 twist for my Ruger American in 300BLK. I haven't...

    I have both 3 twist and 6.5 twist in 8.6 Blackout. IMO, the 3 twist is ridiculous and not needed. You can shoot everything in a 6.5...

    I agree the accuracy issues are more for Faxon barrels than the 1 in 3" twist in general. Q and MOS-Tek 1 in 3" barrels have shot better...
