If I were in charge this is how things would be.   Upon conviction they will have all hair removed from their body. Preferably through the use of some sort of pill or treatment. If not they will at a minimum have their head/face shaved. After that it will never happen again while in custody.   While incarcerated food would meet nutritional requirements without any consideration as to how it tasted. The entire meal would be blended together and served as a soup. They will be issued a cup when they enter their cell and that is what they will drink their food from, no utensils of any kind will be given. If they decide they are going to throw the soup flour will be added and bake it like a giant bisquit. They would be fed warm soup for one meal and cold bologna sandwichs for the other meal. Maximum of 2,500 calories per day.   If an inmate requires healthcare after convicted it will be their family that pays for it, not the taxpayers. If the family can't afford it too bad and if the inmate dies then the organs can be harvested. If an inmate is on death row, or serving a sentence of life without the possibility of parole, their organs can be harvested at any time for the benefit of the law abiding even if the inmate is still alive.    Once convicted any money or valuables in their possession at the time of arrest will immediately be turned over to their victims. If it was a "victimless" crime then it will go towards the housing and feeding of the inmate.   There will be no such thing as commissary or inmate fund accounts.   Once convicted the only communication with the outside will be with their attorney and by mail only. The inmates will not be allowed to use any phones. There will be no such thing as visitation or conjugal visits.   There will be no televisions, no excercise equipment and the only time they spend outside of the 8x10 cell will be the 15 minute cold shower they take weekly. Their toothbrushes will only be the head with the bristles with no handle.   When inmates leave their cell they would wear a full face motorcycle helmet with the faceshield painted. This will prevent attempted assaults and escapes.   Inmates will only wear underwear while in custody. The jail will be kept at 65 degrees year round. They will not be issued a matress, blanket or sheets. Their bunk will either be made of concrete or steel.  

I would spend some time and read this: http://demigodllc.com/articles/practical-long-range-rifle-shooting-optics/?p=1 There is a lot of very, very usefull information there.   At the distances you are planning on shooting the 20 MOA base was not really needed although it is nice if you can get zeroed. With a 175 SMK at 2,750 fps and a 100 yard zero the bullet only drops 1.2 MIL or 4.3 MOA at 300 yards. And considering almost any scope has at least 40 MOA, half of that gives 20 MOA of adjustment ad with that load will get you to 700 yards easily. Now if you get a scope with 60 MOA of internal adjustment you can get to 900 yards based on 30 MOA of adjustments.    You need to make sure your scope has plenty of vertical adjustment otherwise you are going to have a really short zero or a really long zero. I would consider 60 MOA the minimum for use WITH the 20 MOA base and even that might not be enough. You might run out of scope adjustment to get the reticle down enough to compensate for the 20 MOA rail. My recent 300 Blackout build might get a 20 MOA base depending on what scope I go with.   Those are great bases. I have and use Ferrell bases but Seekins is great as well.   So have you started to figure out what silencer you are going to run? Having a threaded muzzle is just begging for a can.

I love my Savages. I have owned quite a few and I cannot recall any of them not being MOA capable.   Best part is doing caliber swaps in 10 minutes without the need of a gunsmith. It allows me to set headspace on a piece of brass I sized in my dies. This keeps the brass growth to a minimum and makes them last pretty much forever. Even when I used to shoot factory ammo I would use the factory round to set the headspace.   I am putting together one in 300 Blackout. Hoping it is, and it should be, a MOA shooter.

I would give an appendage if they made a 22lr of the HK MP7.

  The reticle on the MRAD is great.

  I wonder if you could use that as a defense. I mean I live in the hills of Tennessee and if I found myself in trouble some place else how could they find a jury of my peers.   Wouldn't it be nice if, regardless of where the crime was committed, you were tried in your county of residence by your peers. That would nullify a lot of screwed up laws in other states. We could carry a firearm in places like NY without fear because a jury of our peers would would not convict you for having a gun with a HCP.

Illegal unless you have an approved form in hand. http://www.atf.gov/firearms/guides/identification-of-nfa-firearms.html

So how much did you leave for the next customer?

May I suggest everyone hit like on the OP. Maybe we can duplicate it here.

Yeah, a 37mm is perfectly legal as long as you do not own any offensive type ammunition or a caliber conversion that allows you to shoot offensive type ammunition.

I forgot the exact story.

That is great and just as it should be.   Now the robber needs to be sued and forced to pay all the damages as well as emotional distress of forcing the manager to shoot him. The robber should also be forced to pay all legal fees related to the case.

The WASR 10/63's came into the country as single stack guns during the AWB. After the AWB was lifted they would open up the magwell to accept standard magazines. Problem was they were probably done by hand so some have very, very loose fitting magazines. This can case all kinds of malfunctions. So if you are looking at ANY 10/63 make sure to check magazine fit and if it has a wobble walk away.   The canted sight problem is common place with Century guns. It is fixable but it does take money so take that into account if you are thinking of buying one with a canted front sight.   Century specific guns, any of them, have had various issues over the years. So if it is a Century scrutinize it very closely. As a matter of fact if I could not meet at the range and shoot a Century gun I would pass on it. I have seen more with issues than those without.

Still costs $200 to make. It is $5 to transfer but if an individual is making the SBS it costs $200.

How are you getting Natchezz to sell to you? They won't sell to me and say they won't to Amy TN resident. The Primary Arms will be my next mildot. Well that or the BSA MRAD. I have heard the MRAD isn't your normal BSA from a lot of people. I like the MRAD because it has a lot of holdovers on the reticle.

As long as your brass is clean before sizing your dies will probably last a lifetime. Most problems with a die is not the die but the user. I know every problem I have had was 100% my fault.

The millett is a great scope. The only thing that I would like would be the reticle and turrets match as in mil/mil. It just makes it easier to make adjustments on the fly but for typical range antics it would be great.

Glad they got something but I think it is a bit short unless LAPD is also covering medical costs for life.

I am going to watch it. No doubt it will be a scathing piece but look at their audience.   Funny how every serial killer or mass murderer in the last few decades have been democrats or liberals.

I have used a 3x-12x Hawke Varminter II to routinely shoot to 400-500 yards. It tracks good, is clear enough and they can be had for ~$150. I use a Nikon 2x-7x to shoot to 150 yards and it could easily get me to 300 yards as long as I don't need to see the impacts. Mueller makes some great scopes for the money but they generally lack features but they are clear. The Mueller APT is a great scope for the money, $170. I have compared every Mueller I have ever owned to Leupold and they are as clear as any VXII I have looked through. They also have a very nice customer service policy.   Remember what ever scope you get is a learner scope. You will use it to learn what you like and do not like.   For me a mildot is mandatory for anything I might use for distance shooting at steel targets. I also try to make sure I have target turrets for easy adjustments. I use the mildot to range the target then I make adjustments on the turrets if I want precise hits. I can also use the mildot for holdovers. A mildot scope can be used for hunting as well. The only time I would not consider a mildot is when I am paper punching and in that case I use a high magnification, usually fixed, with a very fine cross hair.   For the guns I actually use I make a card that fits inside the rear Butler Creek cover. When I open it up the first two columns give me the adjustments on the turrets at both max magnification and at the mildot correct magnification. And the final two columns has the holdover for when I am using the mildot for holdover at max magnification and at the correct magnification.   It also depends if you are shooting paper or steel or hunting out to 300 yards. They all need a different style of scope.   Here are some scopes. This is not a complete list and I am missing dozens in the same price range. But they are all mildot. http://www.opticsplanet.com/mueller-optics-4-5-14x-40mm-ao-all-purpose-tactical-riflescope.html -$169.95 http://www.opticsplanet.com/swift-tactical-4-12x40mm-rifle-scope.html -$186.79 http://www.opticsplanet.com/hawke-sport-optics-varmint-sf-3-12x44mm-rifle-scope.html -189.99  http://www.opticsplanet.com/hawke-sport-optics-varmint-sf-4-16x44mm-rifle-scope.html -$199.99 http://www.opticsplanet.com/bushnell-elite-10x40-mildot-target-turrets-argon-fixed-riflescope.html -$199.99 http://www.opticsplanet.com/hawke-sport-optics-sidewinder-tactical-10x42mm-side-focus-rifle-scope.html -$319.99 http://www.opticsplanet.com/millet-tactical-riflescope.html -$328.49   There are a lot of makers that are making mildot scopes these days. Just find one you like, look at reviews and then buy it.   This one is a great deal on a MIL/MIL scope with a great warranty. It is also a FFP scope so your mildot adjustments are the same as the reticle. I am probably going to get this scope over all those above. Reviews have been great. https://www.primaryarms.com/Primary_Arms_4_14X44_FFP_Scope_p/pa4-14xffp.htm -$229      

I recently got one of the Boyd's Tacticool stocks. I will say it is worth every penny. It was $128 shipped to my door. It feels great and not to heavy. It has a textured finish that looks great as well.   They make them for most centerfires and most rimfires.

  Maybe there is a market for a levergun that takes AR mags.

I have been there as well. Just a long, long time ago.

Missed the missing buffer tube.   I think you have your rail on backwards as well.

Hope you got an approved Form 1 in hand.
