Is there a way to tell the difference in liners? I am thinking about buying a used liner and the seller is not sure which liner. He has two different lines and the only thing he's sure is that one is a superior liner.
Another FX related question (liners)

- Start date
Twist rate is really easy to measure with the groves on the outside. Should be able to match that up to the liner list.

All older liners doesn't have label. Newer liner will have label now. Don't know why fx didn't do this in the first place.
You can use a marker and draw over 1 rifling. Then use a tape measure to measure how far before it goes around 1 cycle. That will tell you what liner u have. Fx have a chart. Google it.

The liner in my Maverick was labeled, so when i took it out the first time, putting it back it just would not do that, turned out it was the label that had come off, and i had to poke it out of the barrel pipe.
IMO they should have been laser engraved from day #1 not least as i think FX have a machine like that / such a machine not costing a fortune i assume.
Newer do seem to be laser engraved as i noticed that in the video about the new H&N .177 slugs.
As explained with these barrels it dont take a degree in rocket science to figure out the pitch of the rifling, pretty much just take a measuring tape.

It is sometimes hard to tell just by the name or just by the twist rate what you have. In past years sometimes they changed the name of the barrel without changing the twist rate and other times they changed the twist rate without changing the name.
So, pay attention to the twist rate you want and not so much the name.
Got to love the newer liners with the laser etching though.
