Keep em coming guys. This is the kind of talk I was hoping for.

NO reason to apologize Mr Dwyer. I have yet to establish an opinion.

Default Opinions, please

I have shot many small gauge nsca events with sub gauge tubes until my lovely wife gave me a k-20 3gauge set for x mas, I think i will keep her! Nsca events are fun but in my opinion it's more about winning. The few side by side shoots i have shot was more about the enjoying vintage guns and like minded people. If you want to shoot small gauge guns at these events and can't afford an vintage small gage gun you can shoot a modern s x s and still enjoy shooting these events with out spending a bunch of money. It is my opinion the vintage gun events should be shot with guns as they were originally chambered.

Andy
Thanks for expressing the vast majority of our feelings. I have shot a few NSCA events and it is ALL about moving up in class and winning, period. The SXS events is ALL about enjoying yourself with friends and shared interests. I have seen one of our "top guns" shoot a wining score and then not turn in his card because he felt he had won enough events. I fell that is what we are about:not just winning but also helping your friends also enjoy the shoot.

Keeping things the way they are promotes interest in guns, gun collecting, and gun trading. Allowing tubes in vintage gun competition will run the present competitors out of the game. Tubed competition style guns are an unfair advantage.

how about a gun that has been permanently rechambered down one gauge.
(IE: 10 bore rechambered permanently to a 12)

I say NO. We collect, shoot, compete, and hunt with vintage guns. A rechambered gun is not acceptable in a gauge specific competition. Hey, is it a 10 gauge because if left the factory as that or a 12 gauge because someone butchered a fine 10 gauge?

Why not allow any gauge so long as the shot payload is the same?

Mark,

As a way of resurrecting a gun that otherwise would not be usable.

I personally understand the concerns with tube sets but I don't see why rechambering a gun, to resurrect it, should be an issue. That should be no unfair advantage to any shooter.
IMO by doing so you have just reintroduced a gun to the world, stimulated the economy by paying for the work ( I think I am saying this correctly)

I wonder how complicated that might become.... An inspector with a set of inspection tools and charts much like is done at car racing events to be sure everyone is sticking to the rules. How would an inspector determine if a gun were "permanently" rechambered?
