Nicely done, but more like 20 yards, not 200 feet (66.6 yards)
Op-Sec cannot be overstated....Avoid the Show us what you've got threads, we ARE monitored.

That's pretty sweet! On a side note, I was able to complete my Rifle merit badge in Boy Scouts over the winter many years ago because the counselor had a 50 ft range in his basement. I wonder if that counselor was a 'clear danger to the public'.

Only the metrosexual pussies are shocked over this. People have been shooting in their basements for decades. As a kid we always looked forward to shooting in a friends basement after school.

The cost of a concrete tunnel would be ridiculous in 2025. Anyone with solid knowledge have a reasonable estimate for costs for design/engineering, excavation, pouring, construction, etc to come up with a total cost? I’m figuring around $150,000 minimum.

Rifle Magazine's Ken Waters had such a tunnel...............concrete sewer pipe sections sometimes can be had cheap. Trucking is a $$$ bitch.

Great idea!!!!

The only problem I see is the 'stolen' (?) body armor and may be the meth, Depending what it is and how much.

"Leaked photo appears to show a concrete-walled firing lane stretching through the basement of Fire Lt. Joshua Thompson’s Milton home, complete with mounted targets."

What?!!! MOUNTED TARGETS?! THEY WERE MOUNTED?!! Oh, the horror. Electric chair is the only obvious punishment.

Was it really "stolen" or expired vests being taken home instead of throwing them out? Issued without hand receipt? typically Vests are racked by size and available to whomever grabs one first, unlike ones issued by Departments for daily use. (which are also replaced regularly)
"possession of methamphetamine pills," I'm not sure how meth comes, but that doesn't sound like the typical press release verbiage.
The Judge has no fucking business stating his personal opinion on the matter ahead of a Trial, which now needs a new venue.
Violating the restraining order and not surrendering (and not necessarily to Law Enforcement) is going to be a problem, especially in a Red Flag State like Masshole.

Some things in that photo didnt look right to me. It appears we have been duped by the always scrupulous and accurate media.

I did some poking around and that underground range appears to be indeed located in Boston. Boston, England! Its owned by a "Dolphin Gun Company"

I once measured countertops in a house where the owner had a pistol range (3 bays wide) under his 5 car attached garage. He also had a tunnel from there to his carriage house. His gun safe was a room with a safe door for access. If only I had the resources!

I would love a basement gunsmithing/machine shop/reloading room, with an adjacent shooting lane tunnel for testing. Sadly my property layout is not conducive to building such. Very rocky and on the side of a hill to boot.

This guy’s only problem is living in MA.

That’s a pretty slick design, I like it. Keeping dry might suck, in wetter climates or areas with a high water table or springs. But still…

I’ve always wanted to do something like that out in the Midwest… a small two bay garage on the surface with everything else beneath and an alternative exit in case something gets blown over across the main stairwell by a tornado.

Redundancy is of course important but also hydraulics and cribbing are both very inexpensive and can lift pretty much anything that could possibly trap someone inside.
