Just wondering what the twist is in a .54 Killer Colonial. I don't reckon that's important; I'm sure it is round all slow.

Should be marked on the bottom of the barrel. Believe it's 1-70. Just started on a SMR from them. Barrel is marked back towards the breach, has maker (mine is a Rice) and twist, plus has Kibler stamped in it.

Current kibler barrel supplier is Green Mountain. Not sure how to tell when they actually started shipping gm though.
I think that if yours is a rice it is also probably longer than the gm barrels.

As said, the .32, .36, and .40 are 1-48. The .45, .50, .54, and .58 are 1-70. Green Mountain is the supplier for most all, but my .36 SMR has a Rice barrel. I believe that’s true for the .32 also. Possibly the .40 too. It’s all marked on the bottom.
Old stock maybe.
Rice supplies the 32, 36 and 40. GM supplies 45 and up.
