L.H. twist

Does this make a difference? Wheather the quarter back is right or left handed doesn't seem to matter accuracy wise. Does it matter?

It Matters Not One Whit As Far As External Ballistics Are Concerned.

It can matter as far as felt recoil is concerned. With a left hand twist the rifle/carbine wants to torque to the right, and vise-versa for right hand twist.
Colt has used the left hand twist for the second century now but most other makers stick with right hand twist rifling.
