Waiting for a decision from the ACTS folks about what classification my Stag 3G runs under (enhanced versus open) and I'm thinking if I don't agree/like the answer I may build myself a "service" rifle.

Significant ACTS rules are:
  • Rifles with bipods and grip-pods may be used, but deployment of a bipod during a COF results in automatic reclassification of the shooter to the Open division.
  • The following muzzle brakes are permitted in all divisions:
    • AK47/AK74 style muzzle brakes
    • M1A muzzle brakes factory-installed by Springfield Armory
    • muzzle brakes permanently affixed to rifles built between September 1994 and September 2004
    • any others deemed acceptable by the Match Director (non-prize matches only)
    • Open division rifles may use the above brakes or any brake that measures no more than 1" in diameter and no more than 2.75" in length.
  • Extended magazine wells on rifles are not permitted.
  • Slings are mandatory and must be factory made. Homemade slings are not permitted.
  • Suppressors are permitted and may be used in any class.
  • No "Competition" modifications may be made to any firearm used in ACTS matches. The following is a non-inclusive list of such modifications:
  • compensating, venting or metering ports (factory compensated pistols are permitted)
  • optical sights, scopes, or barrel weights (Service Rifle and Pistol)
  • a weight of more than 4 oz. over stock (Pistols only)
  • any barrel other than factory stock or comparable replacement
  • any others deemed acceptable by the Match Director (non-prize matches only)

Rifle Definitions:
  • Service - a rifle chambered in .223 remington or 5.45 x 39 or greater equipped with iron sights and magazine capacity of at least eight (8) rounds. May be magazine fed or fed by stripper/en bloc clips.
  • Enhanced - a rifle chambered in .223 remington or 5.45 x 39 or greater equipped with non-magnifying optics or fixed power magnifying optics.
  • Open - A rifle chambered in .223 remington or 5.45 x 39 or greater equipped with any of the following:
    • Variable power optics
    • Multiple sighting systems (other than irons)
    • Bipods
    • Full Auto capability
    • A magazine containing more than 30 rounds
    • Any muzzle device as defined in Section 4
  • Other Rifle - All other optic or iron sighted rifles that do not fit in one of the previously listed categories.
I like the Stag 18" barrel that I have and if I build a service rifle gun, I plan on using an 18" barrel.
I also like - and plan to use - the JP 15.5" VTAC handguard.
SBR's are not legal in Michigan where the CRC is being held.

Other than that, I am open to suggestions.

Those rules are too weird for me to even follow. Why wouldn't you gun ba allowed in enhanced or whatever the non Open division is?
