    Remington 5R MilSpec twist

    Re: Remington 5R MilSpec twist Remington resopnded, and we have a definitive answer. A nice lady named Lisa dug up the info on the 5R Milspec for me. She confirms that they're made in small runs for a single distributor, and the barrels are made on the same machinery as the M24 barrels. The...

    Remington 5R MilSpec twist

    Re: Remington 5R MilSpec twist Let me clear something up: I'm very happy with my rifle. Below is the target I shot when first zeroing my scope at 100 yards. Rounds 1, 2, and 3 are zeroing shots from a cold bore; 4, 5, and 6...well, you be the judge: This is a 100 yard target shot...

    Remington 5R MilSpec twist

    Re: Remington 5R MilSpec twist 5R Milspec: you're right, the wrong barrel was the first thing I considered, so I checked the rifling. I definitely have 5R rifling, with five lands and grooves arranged exactly like they should be. Many have suggested writing to Remington, but the problem with...

    Remington 5R MilSpec twist

    Re: Remington 5R MilSpec twist Interesting 5R milspec. Thank you. Anybody else have one they can test? Like I said, I have a 5R milspec sitting in the safe right this minute that has a 1:12 twist; I wonder if there could have been two variants produced.

    Remington 5R MilSpec twist

    Re: Remington 5R MilSpec twist With all due respect, "I cannot think" is the kind of speculation that is all over the web. Does anyone have an actual 5R Milspec that they can do the measurement on? I appreciate all the "this is what makes sense" type comments, or, "this is what everyone on...

    Remington 5R MilSpec twist

    Re: Remington 5R MilSpec twist Hog Rider: Thanks for measuring, but, just for the record, the M24 is not the same as the 5R. To date, I have not read any definitive measurement of the 5R twist. The info on the web seems to be the kind of info that "everyone knows", because they read it...

    Remington 5R MilSpec twist

    Re: Remington 5R MilSpec twist Alpine338: You got my hopes up about finding the twist on the label...I just climbed up in the attic and pulled the box for the 5R. (I don't know why...I already know the twist. Guess I just wanted to see what Remington thinks it is). Unfortunately, no twist...

    Remington 5R MilSpec twist

    Re: Remington 5R MilSpec twist It's fairly easy to measure twist with swiveling cleaning rod. Attach a brush and insert it a few inches into the bore from the muzzle end. Mark the exact place on the rod where it's flush with the muzzle. Then, carefully push the rod into the bore until it...

    Remington 5R MilSpec twist

    I'd appreciate a little input from those of you who own the Remington 5R MilSpec in .308 with the 24" barrel. Here's the deal: I've never seen any official specs published by Remington on the 5R (if you know where to find them, I'd like to know). The concensus on the web seems to be that the...
