Yes it did. Most matches at Metacon will usually not be cancelled due to rain. There is an overhang that is used in the event of rain so the shooter does not get wet.

Getting into chase is like pulling teeth. If I recall correctly, they stopped accepting new members a couple of years ago as I believe they were over their stated limit of members. We have our annual meeting at the end of the month, if anything changes I'll post it.

Are there guides or even a list of the steps you need to take to obtain one? I've been reading quite a bit on the topic and there's a good amount of rumor and contradiction out there. It's nice to see people actually *doing* it. -Jason Talk to a dealer like Joel Cramer. He will walk you through all...

I've always assumed you needed a special permit to use suppressors on any firearm in CT. Is this the case?
No special permit required. You need a one time tax stamp payment of $200 for each purchase.

I would get one that has a threaded barrel from the factory if you are looking to suppress it.

They had a few boxes of 45, 40, and various rifle rounds.

This was around 7pm (Friday July 31st)

Good luck!
