I have a Ruger 77/357 I want to get threaded 1/2"x28 and also set the front sight back. Searching the web I found pictures of the same rifle done by jpgrips.com but he is out of state and I would rather stay local if possible. I'm not clear on what the laws are shipping a firearm out of state to...
