    Help me choose my upper assembly!

    Re: Help me choose my upper assembly! Thanks, that really tells me alot! i have heard that using a 1:7 twist is the best for medium to long range use with heavier grain bullets. But it is quite hard finding that twist anywhere besides White Oak Armament. Does anyone know of them and how they...
