Fellas I came across one of these new and the specs say 1:16 twist, 20" barrel. I hadnt heard of this configuration before, was suprised it didnt have Marlins usual 1:38 twist( though maybe they changed this some time ago?) and wondered if anyone could answer the following?
Anyone know what the barrels might slug at?
Anyone know if the quality is okay? I know marlin went through a bad patch, and the usual advice for a while was get a JM stamped gun. Would a new marlin be okay? It has a fairly significant premium price attached, maybe 20-25% more than a regular round barrel.
