Tim, any difference to speak of between the standard 1/10 twist or the Wilson SS 1/12 twist rate in a Mini-G?

I wouldn't know, I haven't used the 1/12 twist barrel.Quote:

I also just purchased a barrel from Jim. I asked him the question about the 1-10 vs 1-12. He claims he has found the 1-12 has "less overspin flyers'. FWIW.
I bought a wilson 1-12 .308 in the white, that will end up in Jerome for a mini-g build for my boy... We'll be shooting 150gr FMJ surplus mainly.

Hi Randy,
Mine's not stainless, just in the white. Shuff will parkerize it after he's done cutting and machining it. So no it won't be as snazzy looking as your stainless. :)

I have ordered a barrel from Jim Thompson - nice person to deal with. I'll let you know how it goes.
