Very clean setup SR9... the Strikefire is a great dot.
Sorry I'll have to miss the WLOPA Silhouette match Sunday I had a great time at the last shoot.
btw: The BSA Sweet22 is a good optic for silhouette shooting, besides being very crisp and clear(for its price) the calibrated elevation turret really works well. Pick the cap for your bullet weight, sight in at 50yrds, lock the knob on the 50 mark...then all that needs to be done for spot on shooting is to adjust the turret to whatever yardage being shot.

Thanks Pain. I am enjoying the AR a lot. Nice with a red/green dot on it too.
I am looking into a bit more to change just for fun but that will be all for now. Maybe a different hand guard and pistol grip or something.

The BSA Sweet22 is the scope I am planning on for my 795. I am going to change the stock as well. Looking at something from Boyds. It is time for a make over for the 795ss.

Make sure whatever scope you get for the 795 you get this to mount it:

The M60/795 is notorious for "creeping" scopes. You'll never have a problem using the Accushot.

This may be a stupid question but I've been into pistols as long as I've been shooting and now a s&w mp15-22 cought my attention and some things I don't understand About pre-band requirements etc
Is there anywhere I can catch up on this stuff . I noticed the butt stock is pinned and it's illegal to take pin out and keep it out so you can adjust it ,, why?
This is the type of info I'm lookin for
Thanks in advance!

Defendant's conviction under Sec. 53-202c did not violate his due process rights because, as a matter of law, a Maadi MISR is an "assault weapon" as defined in section. Defendant's due process rights were not violated by trial court's not concluding section is vague as applied to circumstances of his case. 93 CA 129.

Ok, two things stand out that are confusing to me(actually most are but anyway) one is the folding or telescopic stock second is the flash suppressor
basically i and iv I see these all the time , I'm not sure if the stocks are pined but the suppressors are on most ARs I see
Am I not reading the requirements correctly?
Can anyone clearify this for me?
Thanks , Paul

Basically, the "named weapons" in the first paragraph of the law are completely banned.
Beyond that post-ban, semi-auto long guns have to conform to the AWB, by not having more than two of the listed "evil" features. Specifically to the AR platforms, since they have a "pistol grip" and "detachable magazine" in order to be in compliance with the law in CT ARs need have to have, no bayo lug, a permanently attached brake or no muzzle device and a non-collapsible/folding stock.
If for instance a weapon like the stock Mini-14 Tactical has no pistol grip, then it can have one of the other "evil" assault weapon features, ie the flash hider it comes with.
