So I picked up a 16" BHW barrel and its marked 1 in 10... When was this barrel made? Miss stamped? Im going to end up selling it, but I keep getting this nagging feeling that something is wrong as all of the listings I have seen are 1 in 9s.
Advice, help, anything please!!!

Jace I assume you are talking about a 6X45. This being one of the popular calibers in the 16 inch length This barrel could have been made as late as today. BHW still offers the 1 in 10. The 1 in 9 twist barrels have only been available for a little over a year. The 9 twist was originally done because one of the pro staff wanted to use 100 grain bullets in a 6X45. At the speeds of the 6X45 its right on the edge of instability with the 10 twist. If you are going to use anything lighter than a 90gr the 10 is the way to go. You will get higher velocity with less pressure using a 10 twist. |

Ritch is correct. We offer the 6X45 in both the 1X9 and 1X10 twist rate. While we currently don't have the 1X10 available in the online store, a 1X10 can be ordered over the phone or via email. So as far as selling it, you should be good to go.  |

Time is your friend, build it however long it takes, and build it just the way you want it, that is the best thing about an AR, you can build it to suit your needs!!!
