Does anyone know, FOR SURE, what the RATE OF TWIST is on the later MICRO-GROOVE 1895 barrels, the last ones made before they went back to BALLARD?

Thank you very much for any information!

Nope, but I'm betting these guys can: http://www.marlin-collectors.com/ :Fire:

Thanks to you both for the info! I have tried to register at the Marlin Collectors site but have not gotten my email yet.

I was asking because I know a guy who has 2 brand new Marlin factory barrels like this, finished but never installed. These were inventory when they went back to BALLARD. I can get both for well under $100 and would buy them if I though I might have use for them.
