[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1177800, member: 90399"] So in Indiana there are no requirements other than it needs to be at least a 243 bullet? In lower Michigan it needs to be a straight walled cartridge not longer than 1.8 inches case length, and at least a 357 sized projectile. When I was reading a while back, I thought Indiana and parts of Ohio shared that same "straight walled cartridge" verbiage? Maybe not though. Also if I'm reading this correctly, you intend on shooting a non-shoulder fired weapon out to 800 yards? I'm not crapping on your dreams here. I just want to make sure I understand what you are trying to accomplish. One last point... I would not take what any DNR officer says as gospel. I have had 2 disagreements with DNR officers in the last 5 years on topics that I ended being right on. And after I showed them the laws in the book, they agreed with me. The DNR state hunting regulations are sometimes long (MI is like 80 pages) and full of fluff that you don't care about. But when you are trying to walk that thin line of barely being legal with a Frankenstein'ed firearm, I'd read it all... word for word. No matter what any DNR officer tells you, it's what's in writing that's the law. Good luck! Sounds like a fun project for you. [/QUOTE]
