The principle for 'most vintage military rifle matches' is an arbitrary year cutoff, and in most places that is for designs dated 1945 or earlier. The tolerance of course extends to production runs that extended beyond 1945, particularly for Mausers, Garands and Lee Enfields. But models like the M14, SKS, FN49, MAS 1949, etc are newer than 1945 and are not in the spirit of 'most vintage military rifle matches'. Call the organizers any names you want, but sports is all about arbitrary limitations. That said, many matches lately have an open class if there are enough shooters with those newer rifles.Well I was hoping to use my M 14 in a vintage rifle shoot but the production date is 3 years too late......oh well guess I'll have to dig some of the safe Queens out
Thanks for all the info
