I've seen a fellow using one of those .351's at a Wild Bunch match here in New England a couple of times.  He was using a lead bullet and had a muzzle velocity to SASS stardards for "main match rifles" so yeah, low power loads work.  Wish I could remember who it was that had the thing!


On another note, would those reproduction Sterlings that are on the market be okay?  They are a pre 1950 design, and shoot the 9mm.   I think they'd be a fun alternative to the Thompson.

Of course, even if they are okay, I can't buy one...

Are converted pistols with shoulder stock and long barrel allowed for the "rifle" portion?

AFAIK reading the rules it would be legal and very interesting, as would a Mauser C96 or Artillery Luger with shoulder stock.

Speaking of the UK, here's my English self loader-



That would be an SLR in British Army nomenclature. Differs from the C1A1's I used in the Canadian Army in a few minor respects:
- a body cover with a clip loading device built in
- a bakelite carrying handle
- the cocking handle folded
- the rear sight was a folding aperture with multiple apertures

    And your handguards didn't have quite as many holes in them, did they? The English and Australian guns do have a folding cocking handle :D

   The Canadian guns are cool, I especially like the American black walnut used on them. Canadian Govt. took care of most of them so it was hard to get parts at a reasonable price to build a good Canadian rifle.
