    A tight patch on a swivel handle cleaning rod, a magic marker, and a ruler will let you figure it out.
    I start the patch in the barrel, put a little "flag" of masking tape on the rod, and make a mark on the rod next to some spot on the gun. I then advance the rod until the "flag" has made one complete revolution and make another mark on the rod. I then pull the rod out and measure the distance between marks, which is the rifling pitch.

    +1.

    You can use this trick (or something similar) to measure the rate of twist on any rifle barrel.

    Thank you both. I will follow your advice and check it when the rifle arrives.



    Another K2 question if I may, is the original muzzle device easily replaced? I wish to install a Smith Enterprise DC Vortex.

    On my MAX2 it is threaded on like a AR. It looks like a AR flash hider. I know the MAX1 has a different looking one.

    What does your K2 look like [?]

    Sorry, I messed up last night, meaning to activate your account on the DRP forum, I got sidetracked.

    You can easily tell which it is by looking down the bore. The 1/7.3 is a really tight twist, the 12 is much less intense.

    I will look down the bore when the rifle arrives at my FFL dealer.
