interesting discusion you boys got here...charlie

It becomes a slippery slope when you start changing the rules to allow certain modifications and not others, unfortunately the choices are probably going to come down to all or nothing. If we start picking apart our friends and competitors guns to see if they are sleeved, re-chambered, over bored etc., there will be more grumpy faces and less happy ones.

Chris,

I agree.

There is some discussion of some new shoots that will be coming up in later 2014 that would allow tube sets/ etc.

I see the plus and minuses of each. IMO we have to obey the rule listed for each shoot and respect those rules. However no one has addressed in those rules a gun that is permanently rechambered. All other rules have been directed towards removable devices.

I think we all stand in agreement regarding tube sets/ gauge mates/ etc.

Just my two cents worth here....I feel shooters should be required to use a gun as it was originally configured for each gauge event. If I wanted to be using race guns I would hang around with the over/under crowd.

But I do think that Parker Reproductions should be allowed in vintage events. After all they are configured the same as originals. But....fixed choke guns only.

I think an original Parker might have a slight advantage here over the Repro's because of original Parker chokes.
