I wonder if he's out yet? The article doesn't explicitly say whether they're de-acts/replicas or live firearms though, but considering the 16 year sentence i'd have hoped they were live!

In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?
