Yellow Ninja is here and pops in.
Tron is in the U.K. living it up with ladies boys probably.
Good info Cedric. I am going to try it on all my barrels!
Also, Pablouk hasn’t posted since September. What has happened to my droog across the pond?
Yeah, where is YN, and that loveable pain in my ass Tron??? 😕
Thanks so much Adam! 😀
Your so right TF, We all learned from somewhere, or some one. I guess we, (I) forget that sometimes. 😳
Old crew? Like 5 people?
Where is YellowNinja?
It really is nice to see several of the old crew back on the TAG.
You guys are appreciated more then you realize.
Thanks for making the forum a success
That goes for everyone 😀
LOL! Knife, no need to explain bro. But lets both of us remember that there are NEW people logging on all the time. Lots of NEW SHOOTERS or NEW TO GUNS also. Both powder and air. I too used to get frustrated cause i just assumed EVERYONE KNEW. But i’m still learning and so are all the KNOOBS…lol!
Each one teach one!

Thanks ToFAz, I guess I was too damed lazy to write it down here when I said “measure it”. I Didn’t think in needed explaining, but I guess I’m old and jaded. LOL! Never occured to me that some one might not know how to do it. You know what happens when you assume. Lol!!!
I would like to add, I perfer to push in the rod first, far enough for the patch to bite the rifleing when starting from the breach, (if possible) Then when it bites, Mark the rod, then push in for one full rotation. Mark again. That way, you don’t count any skip in the lead in before the rifleing has the chance to bite into the patch. 😉 Now withsraw the rod and measure between the marks. ( A sharpie marker wroks very well! 😉
Sorry about that T-A. I’l try to be a little more awake next time. 😆 😉

It’s my pleasure Wok.
The twist rate in my opinion should be noted either on the barrel or even better in the instruction manual with EVERY gun. Every dimension and detail about the gun should be written somewhere in the manual.
Thanks Tofaz
😀
OK, just measure it yourself bro.
I gotta teach you guys everything……. 😆
Grab a cleaning rod that SWIVELS. Apply a brush and a cleaning patch just like you would AS THOUGH YOU ARE GOING TO CLEAN YOUR BARREL. Insert the very tip of the cleaning rod/patch into the barrel. Make a VERTICAL mark on the actual ROD itself just below the handle at 12 o clock (preferably with a white or silver perm. marker or whatever you can see on the black rod). Now, push the rod SLOOOOWWWLY into the barrel until it makes ONE FULL REVOLUTION (judging by the mark that your made on the rod). Now make a mark RIGHT AT THE BARREL MUZZLE were the rod/muzzle meet.
Pull out the cleaning rod fully and measure from the TIP of the cleaning brush up to the mark were the rod stopped at one full revolution. That is your twist rate. If it measures 12″ or 14″ or 16″ or 18….etc…etc..etc…etc…..then……………………..
It will be 1-14″, 1-16″, 1-18″, 1-20″ or WHATEVER IT IS.
Fucking airgun manufacturers or barrel makers are a waste of time as you can see. And it should not be that way. It’s embarrassing that they DONT KNOW the twist rate. Learn all you can so you don’t have to rely on them.
Hope my explanation makes sense. Its damned easy and 100% accurate bro.
That seems awful fast.
Asked to LW but they did not inform to me.
Received a message from Daystate, they say 24″ .250 polygonal barrels are 1/12″ twist rate.
Or you could just measure it. 😉
I think all air gun barrels from them are 1-16.
