Question re Rule 3.15
Posted: Sat Dec 16, 2023 5:45 pm
Greetings all,
I tend to practice year round, which requires different clothing. This in turn changes quie significantly length of pull. It is not a problem with an air rifle, where almost all dimensions are adjustable, but I was wondering about a 22lr. Could one modify the stock by separating the butt-plate and use spacer(s) for adjustment, a la Walther Dominator arrangement:
Regarding the butt-plate,the rule recites (emphasis supplied):
"A butt or buttplate having a curved rear surface in which the depth of the curve exceeds 1/2 inch when measured from a straight line drawn from the top to the bottom of the buttplate is prohibited. Buttplates must be centered."
This implies that the butt-plate is (in a way), adjustable. The next sentence recites (emphasis supplied):
"Adjustable cheek pieces must be fixed and sealed in place."
Thus it logically follows that it would stand to reason that such a modification should be allowed. However, I would hate to make a modification that would disqualify the stock.
Kindest regards,
M
