I hadn't thought of those old Ford trucks for years and here the head rears up once again....Sorry to butt in off topic but you woke me up with that one.

From my reading the right or left twist makes no difference and is only tradition.
The Brits believed left-hand twist imparts slight leftward bullet drift that compensates for the tendency of right-handed shooters to pull the shot right when pulling the trigger, but not true. |

The recoil of the gun would go the wrong direction if the barrel was left twist-ed. Duh.

It would seem to me a left twist barrel would make more sense in the northern latitudes. JMHO
