Whats the skinny on the LMT MWS for NRA high-power? What kind of setup is in regs

It appears they are service rifle legal. Who new.

"LM308MWS
LMT is proud to have the LM308MWS sanctioned by the NRA for M110 series service rifle competitions."

Not in its regular configuration, still has to meet the rules for everything. An "M110" service rifle is nothing like an M110 at all. Caliber and barrel length are about it.

I can't post the rules right now but a quick search of NRA high power rifle rule book will pull it up. It's fairly specific, yet vague.

http://competitions.nra.org/documents/pdf/compete/RuleBooks/HPR/hpr-book.pdf - Page 12
U.S. Rifle, Caliber 7.62 mm M-110 series–– In all courses of fire and




in all positions the standard 20-round box magazine or a reduced




capacity magazine of the same external dimensions will be attached.




The flash suppressor may be removed or the rifle may be manufactured  




without a flash suppressor. Barrel length may not exceed 20 inches,




as measured to the end of the riflling in the barrel. The front sling




must be attached to the end of the handguard, and must remain in the




6 o’clock position no more than 1/2 inche from its original location.




The sights must be of the standard design found on the M-16 series




of firearms. Rear sight windage and elevation adjustments may be




modified to allow finer adjustments. Plastic covers may be used on


the mounting rails on the handguard

Basically, it has to look like an "unmodified" M16A2 or A4, and have a trigger pull weight of 4.5+lbs.





ETA: NRA is more lenient on their definition of "service rifle" compared to CMP.

The M110 is legal for CMP SR competition???  

Pg 27-32 cover the specifics of what a CMP SR is and all I see are M1 Garands, M14's and the M16 chambered in 5.56 (or commercial variant).  

Nope, Too many times they get wrapped up into one. NRA says yes, CMP says NO. seperate entities that share a language.

I seem to remember a Junior using one at the Marine Corps clinic at Camp Perry in '12 or '13. Maybe he was one of the few who stayed for both weeks.



 

So would that make the LM8 model also legal? Same basic MRP .308, but sans the rails at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock unless you add them.

The question is, why shoot the ar10 across the course when you can shoot the ar15?

No good reason.  However, if you wanted to set LR service rifle records, the AR15 ain't gonna do it.

Shot NRA HP in High school made master with a mouse gun, now I want to play a little.

 

For LR I agree 100%.
