    If you are curious, take a tight fitting bore brush with a rotating rod (like say a dewey) and run it down the bore.
    Take note of the revolutions and how long it took and you will find your twist..........

    PS: It looks old, so look all the way around the barrel (not just on top where they usually are marked) and back to under the FSB...........
    You might just see a "12" ............. I doubt that is so old, it's a "14."

    The barrel is marked "C MP Chrome Bore". According to what I've read that would make it a 1/12. There are no other markings anywhere.

    Oh........Sorry.
    I misread your "......The barrel isn't marked with a twist rate ......." to mean there weren't any markings at all.
    Yes, if it has that ( "C MP Chrome Bore" ) then, yes...........I'd go with 1/12".
    (The VERY early ones had simply "12" marked on them. The EVEN EARLIER ones and extremely rare ones were simply marked "14." For their respective twists).

    Just yesterday, I worked my A1 upper out to a 200yd zero and played around.
    Man, those things are light!

    Yeah, I wasn't very clear. And it is really light. 5lbs 6oz empty. I really like it.
