1-7" twist.

Mag box dimensions that allow heavy for caliber bullets to fit/feed.

Throated to allow said bullets to touch lands at mag box lengths.


Most of us build them this way but wouldn't have to if you were on the ball.

Good luck man!

Sorry since 1-8 is by far our best selling twist for AR bbls they will be 1-8 with .223 Wylde chambers. I'm not sure on mag box length, I'd have to ask one of our engineers.

You need to get out of the AR mindset. The modern bolt action 223 buyer is purchasing the rifle to take advantage of sleek bullets like the 88 grain ELD-M, which means a longer than AR mag box, and twist that's capable of handling the longest bullets out there.

Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.

The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.

Will Munny: We all got it coming, kid.
