Diana 350 magnum barrel twist?

[sammich]

Does anyone know the barrel twist rate for the .22 caliber Diana 350 magnum? I've googled it, and tried to contact the company, but no joy. I also tried checking it myself (cleaning rod method), but never got a consistent result. I assume they are all the same over the years (mine has the older T-05 trigger).
Thanks.

All you got to do is take your cleaning rod put a mark on it push or pull it through and it spins. If the mark goes all the way around to its start point and equaled 5 inches of rod pulled then it's a 1 in 5" twist or of it goes 1/2 a turn in 20" then it's 1 in 40" twist for examples.

That easy ..good luck.

Kinda surprised no one who got a rws/diana 350 aint quickly measured and posted back with a answer. Id almost assume the same twist is used in all there rifle barrels.. i check or post at gta in there German gate.. ill bet youll get a answer .

There's an old Soviet joke that in the 50's they only had one rifling machine since everything in their military was 30 cal at that time.

Oh well. I had read about matching pellet weights to rifle twist and was curious about trying it. As mentioned, I have tried the cleaning rod method, but don't get the same results repeatedly (my cleaning rod must not move freely enough, or maybe I don't have the cleaning jag cranked on tightly enough, who knows). 1:10 for your .30 caliber twist, BTW (military). And I don't know what "gta" is (googling that brings up nothing related to air guns). I'm kinda new to this air gun stuff. New acronyms and lingo to learn.
