    Killing a 40x value

    So I just bought a pristine USMC marked 40x. I paid 1000 for it. I took it over to the gunsmith who refused to thread it cause it was so nice saying it would kill the value. Will it really hurt the value that bad? I have a suppressor I want to put on it for quiet practice.

    Range Report JBM Clculator Bug?

    So I assume its me so I'm hoping someone can/will explain this to me. When i plug in my crony data to JBM it won't out put the MOA drop in a way that makes sense or that I can correlate with my real DOPE data.
