Not a gimmick. 1:8 is actually an "ideal" twist rate for stabilizing all bullet weights. You just don't see them much until recently. Wilson Combat, Bravo Company, and Black Hole Weaponry make 1:8 barrels. I have two uppers in my shop made with 1:8 twist and I'm VERY impressed by them (Black Hole Weaponry barrels).

I have a 1/8 twist Sabre Defense 16-inch barrel and it is scary accurate with everything from 55-grain to 69-grain and very accurate with 77-grain as well - will do 1/2 MOA with 55, just under 1 MOA with 69, and just over 1 MOA with 77-grain

I don't see any on their website that start with "L." Could it have been one of those with the skulls on it from Black Rain Ordinance?

What was price? Could be Legion Firearms out of Temple, but it would look "different" (cerakote, hexagonal barrel cuts) and be very expensive ($2,000 +)

IMHO, this is best deal going right now on a basic AR carbine

1/9 twist barrel is only major quibble. But unless you plan a steady diet of heavy 77-grain bullets (works best with 1/7) then 1/9 will work fine and do well with 55- and 62-grain ammo and ok with up to 69-grain as well.
