Smells like a troll hole to me, Dolomite.  Even trolls have cops, I guess.

Bulk of the expense for execution comes from the high cost of the mandatory appeals process, which often takes decades to run it's course.  Texas usually manages to expedite the process more than most states, but recent rulings by the higher courts regarding guidelines for appeals have slowed their adjudication to roughly the same rate as other states.  Second, the cost of defending the legality of using capital punishment in state and federal courts is figured into the overall expense of executing prisoners in most studies thus far.  In addition, "death-row" incarceration is expensive as well, as they are separated from the general population for the time their appeals processes run.  The studies mentioned above have shown that the overall cost to the state is higher for completed executions than the average expense to incarcerate for life, but there are detractors who dispute the methodology of the studies, and cost varies widely from case to case.   My synopsis of several articles I've read over the years when I first doubted the validity of these claims.

... and a stopped clock is right twice per day, at least the analogs are...

Thanks.

David, a couple of days ago I logged on and saw my benefactor status had disappeared, I immediately knew that it was time to renew my subscription.  I went to the store and paid for a year's subscription.  Today I noticed I also had a renewal fee of $20 which was auto-renewed by Paypal.  I just canceled the auto payment which was left over from last year.  Can you please take care of this?  The transaction numbers are :   Unique Transaction ID # 4VD45982MB8780527 for $20 Unique Transaction ID #1YY676612R050311K for $35   Thanks.

Are you seriously arguing that the federal government should regulate the caloric intake of children, or curfews for teenagers?

You might want to learn to history.

Looked like a stall/spin to me.

Just a suggestion, but if I were you I would be heading to the local Driver Testing site for this information.

I could find an expert to opine that the screams on the tape are from leprichaun having he leg humped by a chupacabra.   What a weird visual that generates...

Wow, does anybody on this thread actually work during the day?  This thing grows exponentially it seems...

Wish it was closer, might be able to set up across the street and pick up a really cool old BB gun for cheap...

  Tell us how you really feel!

I have bought 30 of these, all after Dec. 19th 2012, and none of them have cost more than $13/mag, shipped.  While I'm sure these, like most other things we buy, will be affected by inflation in the future, what would make them have a drastic net cost increase, accounting for normal inflation?

Second thing to go is your eyesight, the third is... umm, ah, oh damn I just thought of it a second ago...

Went today to check this one out.  Few vendors, probably 20-25 tables, not a lot of inventory there.  Too bad, as I was hoping this one would have a better turnout.

Went to the gun show at union City today, saw 500 rd bricks of Remington 22lr marked at $130, strangely he seemed to have several in stock...

Can't answer your question directly, but CMT Tactical is located on Law Road just outside of Jackson, mt guess is that if they don't do this type of work they will know someone in the area who does.  Their site is https://www.cmttac.com/index.php?route=information/contact

That's apparently the new normal time in this part of the world, as several others have reported the same.

What are your goals for the rifle?  A collector would be concerned with arsenals, rarity, age, etc., for a shooter none of those matter.  Like others have posted, condition of the wood, metal finish, rifling and crown are far more important than markings.  I'll have to respectfully disagree with a couple of statements though, first don't concern yourself with "hex" vs. "round" receivers if you are looking for a good shooter.  The cosmetic differences have no correlation to performance, any "corner-cutting" that might have occurred during wartime production has long ago been remedied as these rifles have been through numerous refurbishment processes, the bad ones were cannibalized for parts many years ago.  Second, don't automatically reject a counterbored rifle, most were done to eliminate crown erosion due to nicks from improper cleaning techniques.  The armorers who took the time to counterbore the rifles usually chose ones that had good bores but bad crowns, they are quite often better shooters than non-bored examples.  Checking headspace and firing pin protrusion is always a good idea on any surplus rifle prior to firing it, a thorough cleaning is also a necessity.  "Sticky bolt syndrome" is almost always the result of cosmoline in the chamber, investigate how to properly clean the bore and chamber and you should be good to go.   If you are looking to start a collection, a different set of criteria apply.  Check out the info available at 7.62x54r.net (especially the forums section), mosinnagant.net, and the Russian section at surplusrifles.com for a start.  Terence Lapin's book "The Mosin Nagant Rifle" is another good source.  Eventually you will find that serious collectors aren't very interested in common 91/30 refurbs, therefore most of the rifles commonly available in gunstores now aren't very collectible (there's always that apocryphal story of the 1907 carbine found on the shelf at the LGS for $100, so we do continue checking the racks in hope!).

Bubba strikes again.

But he did say "my bad"...
