The PA-10 I am putting together I got the 20" rifle length nitride hybrid barrel from Criterion.
	I know you can feel it let it in people will still hate you in the end. So hate back, plan the attack then they will realize they cannot crack the mind of a fucking maniac. The voice inside you always wins your grave's been dug so lie in it.
