Modern Military match ruling

[Ntill]

But the gamers love these matches. Lol

[ceresco]

As stated above, MM is now an offhand match with M1As somewhat competitive with the AR variants. The real loses are all the other post WW2 semiautomatics including the early M16 types. I will build (yet) another M4 with free float HG and try to improve my offhand...... Good Shooting. ....

Want a real match? Let CMP prepare the rifles in class "legal" condition then draw by lots. Just like IROC. That would at least nominally spank the gamers.

Ceresco,

i think free float tubes are still illegal, per modern military rules. Right?

I wish I knew.....but I feel a lot better knowing that BIG SHOOTER IS BACK!!! Good Shooting. ..

Not only "post-war" semis but the WW2 semis as well..SVT, G41/43, AG42b etc.

Still no love for those but do boy we need ANOTHER of those floated tricked out AR matches...

Right, should have included them.... Saw three Tokarevs sell at auction for over $1K each recently. It would be fun to see all the pre M16 semi's at matches, but that's not going to happen. Good Shooting. ...

Yup it would be...it really amazes me is when I mentioned all the vintage semis and they need a place to compete..they said "yeah we get lots of comments about them..."

well "duh...DO something..."


*sigh* guess I'm now going to figure what AR to use and work on the offhand like everyone else...

That is one option but another is to make the MM match a true as-issue match. No match triggers - not float tubes - just military rifles or their clones which use mil spec parts. Of course, now that the door has been opened it won't likely be closed.

Bingo...
