I'd GUARANTEE 2" groups at 100 yds from my tuned 14s, and of the dozens of these I sold, I NEVER had one returned. I’ve also worked on dozens more of these type rifles professionally, for paying customers, and more recently as a hobby.

This is an action for declaratory relief brought by the National Shooting Sports Foundation and four licensed firearm retailers asking this Court to declare that the July 20, 2016 Enforcement Notice issued by Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey to be unconstitutionally vague, invalid, and unenforceable. On July 20, 2016, the Attorney General unexpectedly and without any public notice or input announced that she now intends to enforce a state criminal firearms licensing statute and G.L. c. 93A, the Massachusetts Consumer Protection Act, according to entirely new, but unconstitutionally vague interpretations for what constitutes a banned “assault weapon.” The Attorney General’s Office has said it “is expecting full, voluntary compliance with the Assault Weapons ban, as it is explained in the Enforcement Notice, but will Case 4:16-cv-40136-TSH Document 15 Filed 12/13/16 Page 2 of 24 enforce the Commonwealth’s laws in a civil or criminal action if gun dealers or individuals do not comply.” See copy of Question and Answers, p. 3, attached as Exhibit A. 2. Retail firearm stores, including the four named plaintiffs, cannot determine the meaning and scope of the Enforcement Notice and whether certain firearms fall within the newly defined term, assault weapon “copy.” Because criminal penalties can result from violations of the licensing statute, the unduly vague Enforcement Notice violates due process protections afforded under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution.

  • Cherokee Rod and Gun Club 2019 Shooter's Manual for Vintage And
    Cherokee Rod and Gun Club 2019 Shooter’s Manual For Vintage and Modern Military Rifle and Pistol CRGC Matches January 20, 2019 - 1 - Foreword and welcome from Jim Branham, Coordinator of Vintage Military Rifle and Pistol Matches at Cherokee Rod and Gun Club and national pistol competitor Welcome to Cherokee Rod and Gun Club and thank you for taking time to explore this Shooters’ Manual for Military Rifle and Pistol Matches. It has been my pleasure to have created the Vintage Rifle and Pistol Matches and to have put them on in 2005 and 2006. Jerry Paregien conceived and developed this Shooters; Manual for the purpose of putting into print what existed only in the ether of my mind and the match bulletin. This match is dedicated to practical shooting skills with as-issued military weapons. However, we want to include all shooters. If shooters want to get a feel for competition and come shoot their scoped deer rifles or modern commercial pistols in these matches to see if they enjoy it or to test their skills, those shooters are welcome. That is why the category of “participant” is included. We want to make the matches open to all. Some purists will object to what we have included as acceptable modifications to competitors’ rifles and pistols, but modifications do not guarantee good shooting. At the time of this writing, the club record for rifle was shot with an 8mm 1888 German Commission rifle made at Spandau Arsenal in 1890. It was as-issued, unmodified, complete with some rust, both inside and outside, and its original sights which would not zero at 100 yards and caused the shooter to have to aim at a chosen point in the vanilla portion of the target.
