OK Group;
Here are the rules for this thread. I want only actual observed twist rates from your rifles posted in this thread. Do not post data that has been published somewhere else. I just want your own observed data. The information should be posted in the form of Model; first 3 digits of the serial number (so we can see if changes happen over time; the twist rate observed.
If you do not know the model of your rifle, post a sperate thread and ask the group for help! Once we have determined the model, then you can post your observation in this thread.
Keep the discussion focused! Don't run off on tangents! Only Swedish Commercial rifles please! Any posts that I feel aren't staying on topic will be deleted.
For those of you who have already posted your data, please re-post it here so we will have it all in one place. This should answer the question once and for all about Husqvarna twist rates.
Ready? .... Set? ....GO! Have fun with it!

Hi to you all
here's my observations;
HVA 5000? Imp - S/N 29354X - 308 Win - 10.5:1 (265mm:1)
M38 1942 (defunct - RIP 2005) S/N - 665393 - 6.5X55 - 8:1 (200m:1)
M96 (649) - S/N 9002X - 9.3X62 - 14:1 (355mm:1)
that's it!

Both 9,3x57:
M146 c.1939;
Twist 15"
M46 1942;
Twist 14"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. Jn 3:16 Verbum Domini Manet in Aeternum.
12.7x44R and 8x58RD Rolling Blocks
The twist should be 41,2" for all the m/1867 models, regardless of manufacturer. This twist was actually inherited from the m/1860 rifle, which had a much higher V0 than the m/1867 cartridge.
Twist for the m/1867-89 is 11,3".
