I was wondering if anyone knew how many twists were in the barrel or know where i could find the information?

I'm guessing you mean "what is the twist rate"... if so, a cleaning rod with a patch and jag, a magic marker, and a tape measure is all you need to measure it yourself.
Start the patch until it's fully engaged in the rifling, and mark the rod at the breech (or the muzzle if you're doing it that way). Mark the cleaning rod at the handle so you can determine when it has made a full revolution, push the rod in until it has made one revolution, and mark it again at the breech (or muzzle).
Withdraw the rod, and measure the distance between the two marks.

Probably 1:10.

I thought most of the 243 are 1:9 but I do recall that some of the older ones had a 1:10 so the cleaning rod trick is the answer.
