FCK-- the twist rate you were given is the one in their BPCR barrels. They are a fast twist for long heavy bullets for silhouette and long range shooting. The twist I mentioned is for the tapered octogan and round barrels for lever action express rifles, such as the .50 Winchester Express, which is advertised on their website as a 1-54 twist. They are a lighter weight barrel than the BPCR ones, and are 29" long.
They have a breech section that is larger than the barrel itself, to allow for threading into the actions. I am waiting to see if they will be large enough diameter for the Spencer action. I am fairly certain they will be, but would like to verify that before I order one. The price is $199 for the tapered octogan, the tapered round is less.
