For green tips and standard 55 grain ball is a 1/8 twist ok? Looking to get a new AR just because for now this is still America, and FJB.
The two PSA models are 1/7 and 1/8. I do not intend on shooting anything but factory loads and buy green tips when I find them priced right.
I have a Bushmaster M4 with a 1/9 that does fine for I use it for. Mostly hanging out in the safe....

Yes, a 1/8" is just fine for most any 55-77gr ammo out there.
Now with even more aplomb

If going PSA, I really like their 18" stainless 223 Wylde uppers with rifle-length gas systems. Several members here have also seen accuracy there that is beyond what the price tag would indicate.

I got banned on another web site for a debate that happened on this site. That's a first

Well I was getting ready to order from PSA and the rifle I had picked out is sold out. Found another that I like and it's a 1/7 twist. Looks like according to JWP475 that 7 twister is not a problem with the 1000 Green tips that just came from UPS. Gonna get two of these I guess Since Mrs. Featherweight said @ that price might as well buy two. https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-pa15-16-nitride-m4-carbine-556-nato-moe-ar15-rifle-black.html Any naysayers? I'm more of a blued walnut kinda guy or S/S.

I'm more of a blued walnut kinda guy or S/S. Your 1,000 green tips should be 62 grainers. You will be just fine with the 1 in 7". After all, that is when the military decided to go 1 in 7", when they started using m855 green tip ammo, and tracers. You'll be just fine. Now, with that being said, one of my buddies has a 1 in 9" twist HBAR Bushmaster that loves green tip ammo. It does not like 55 grain FMJ, but what rifle does? It has a huge preference toward the 62gr m855 though.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Thanks for the info! As with most things the devil is really in the details. Just finished ordering a couple of those in the link. I'll put a red dot on one for wifey and tell her to blast away.  Side note BSA, My son finally found a like new Montana in 308 and grabbed it. Glad that search is over. Thanks again for everyones help.
