Short stroking and extensive modifications
« on: December 05, 2003, 09:07:41 PM »
I joined SASS because there was finally a shooting sport, where you did not have to have extensively modified firearms to compete at the national level. Now it seems the arms race has started. In my opinion, it is against the spirit of the game to exensively modify CAS firearms. I believe we should keep the sport simple and not allow these modifications.

I believe the firearms should be allowed to be slicked up but not modified from the original design.

Here you go, trying to stir it up at 2 in the morning!
That question is a slippery slop, it would be hard to enforce just as a power factor rule would be.
I do agree that extensive modifications should not be allowed, such as short stroking, but smoothing an action should be ok, I am sure that some of the old gunfighters had their guns tuned by gunsmiths.
If you gave me all the latest slicked up guns and holsters, I would still finish at the bottom,
I am slower than a turtle in mud.

What was the question?
