standard
In statistics, the standard deviation (SD, also represented by the lower case Greek letter sigma σ for the population standard deviation or the Latin letter s for the sample standard deviation) is a measure that is used to quantify the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of data values. A low standard deviation indicates that the data points tend to be close to the mean (also called the expected value) of the set, while a high standard deviation indicates that the data points are spread out over a wider range of values.
The standard deviation of a random variable, statistical population, data set, or probability distribution is the square root of its variance. It is algebraically simpler, though in practice less robust, than the average absolute deviation.
A useful property of the standard deviation is that, unlike the variance, it is expressed in the same units as the data.
In addition to expressing the variability of a population, the standard deviation is commonly used to measure confidence in statistical conclusions. For example, the margin of error in polling data is determined by calculating the expected standard deviation in the results if the same poll were to be conducted multiple times. This derivation of a standard deviation is often called the "standard error" of the estimate or "standard error of the mean" when referring to a mean. It is computed as the standard deviation of all the means that would be computed from that population if an infinite number of samples were drawn and a mean for each sample were computed.
The standard deviation of a population and the standard error of a statistic derived from that population (such as the mean) are quite different but related (related by the inverse of the square root of the number of observations). The reported margin of error of a poll is computed from the standard error of the mean (or alternatively from the product of the standard deviation of the population and the inverse of the square root of the sample size, which is the same thing) and is typically about twice the standard deviation—the half-width of a 95 percent confidence interval.
In science, many researchers report the standard deviation of experimental data, and only effects that fall much farther than two standard deviations away from what would have been expected are considered statistically significant—normal random error or variation in the measurements is in this way distinguished from likely genuine effects or associations. The standard deviation is also important in finance, where the standard deviation on the rate of return on an investment is a measure of the volatility of the investment.
When only a sample of data from a population is available, the term standard deviation of the sample or sample standard deviation can refer to either the above-mentioned quantity as applied to those data, or to a modified quantity that is an unbiased estimate of the population standard deviation (the standard deviation of the entire population).
As the title says, I'm looking to replace that black synthetic stock as it's so small and likely meant for junior shooters.
I have a standard size (not heavy barrel) stainless barrel/receiver 10/22 with the black factory synthetic stock. All the stocks I've seen so far are $100+. Really don't...

Used ProTac HL-X works 100% fine. This was mounted on an LE6920 for about a year and a half, and barely used. I don't have the manual, but you can toggle between two different modes by rapidly pressing the button 10 times and holding down on the last press (low/high mode and high mode). It works...

So it occurred to me that if a child were to own standard mags before the ban... they could then acquire the guns when they turn 18 and its legal etc..
I tried to research the laws... and it seems to specify that children cannot own a gun or ammo prior to being 18....
It does not mention...

I'm helping with a budget build for a friend. He has a commercial buffer tube, and I don't have a spare buttstock for that size tube. Thought I'd ask here, if anyone has a commercial tube standard style 6 position black AR buttstock they want to part with cheaply? Alternatively, a mil-spec...
