Permitted Rifles

Based on this definition, for example a 1950's Garand, Mosin M44, Irish contract No4 MkII and Spanish Mauser bolt gun are in, but the FN-49, and a scoped, Mojo'd or peep-sighted Yugo 24/47 are out. Type 81's (Iron sights) and SKS's are permitted - all variants including Norinco "clones", but they must be in original military configuration - not "pimped out". If you are not sure if your gun qualifies, please ask. Sling use is permitted and encouraged.
If you have an SKS or M1 Garand please consider shooting them at this event.
