Nate's a really knowledgeable and helpful guy. He gave me advise on my first AR build back when he worked at Lanco. Years later at a class he recognized me and said hi and asked how the rifle was running. Cool dude. I eventually SBR'd that build into a 10.5" suppressed and love it. It almost the exact same length as a 16" w/ flash hider. Still shoots 1' to 2" groups at 100 but is much more maneuverable around my house.

not to discredit what you said, but the 1/7 twist was chosen over 1/9 for NATO solely to stabilize the M856 tracer projectile due to the projectile's length. The much longer projectile of the M856 requires a much faster twist to keep stable so that precession is kept under control sufficiently for the projectiles trace signature to remain relative to the M855 projectiles out to max effective range. There is no need for anything faster than a 1/8 twist unless you are shooting tracers. Therefore, 1/9 and 1/8 are the most ideal and provide for lower chamber pressure and longer barrel life.

@IamMrWWW3
8 жыл бұрын
I think a lot of people forget about the gas length that you are using and how it comes into play as well. What with the longer time between a carbine vs mid vs rifle length gas system will allow more pressure to build behind the projectile increasing muzzle velocity as well. I was searching for an 18'' Mid length gas system barrel with 1:8 twist so as to have a barrel with nearly 20'' velocity and the universal ability to shoot nearly any round. However, that barrel seems to be a unicorn, lol. I settled with a Chrome Lined 16'' Mid-Length 1:7 twist. One question everyone seems to ask is whether or not having a higher twist rate actually causes inaccuracy on projectiles, and all of the research I have done says No. There are some conspiracies that say it over stabilizes lighter bullets, but I doubt that would be any real issue, unless you were shooting 600+ yards.

Seems to me that the number of revolutions guided by the rifling would have an effect on stabilization beyond just the speed imposed by whatever twist. If you have a 1:8 twist on a 16” barrel, that bullet is stabilized through 2 full revolutions before it leaves the barrel. Now if you lengthen or shorten that barrel with the same 1:8 twist, how does that affect the stabilization of the bullet? A 1:12 twist in a 6” barrel is only going to go half a turn through the rifling before exiting the muzzle, whereas on a 20” m16 is would be just under 2 revolutions. Differences in muzzle velocity aside, isn’t this going to have an effect?

I use the rifle for the rane and home defense, at the most I shoot out to 100yrds. The majority of the time I shoot it slow fire for accuracy, but occasionally I do run a mag ir two through it fast. I have had the A2 front sight removed and replaced with a low profile gas block so I could install the VTAC 13" Alpha rail, the bolt carrier isnt a high end one, but it is chrome lined with the gas key properly staked.

Also don't forget that some destabilization in a 556 that's entering a bad guy is a good thing. That's what it was designed for. Only reason I bring that up it so you don't catch the overthink bug. If you ever have to shoot someone with an AR chances are you'll be within 50 maaaayybe 100 yards and at that distance you're not going to be worried about destabilization messing with accuracy. If you're doing your job on your end then you'll be fine.
