It will be interesting to see what new ar15 modifications and ammo come from this.

The AR’s in this class can be fired as semi-autos with a brass catcher.

This is an opportunity for AR owners that have wanted a place in formal BR competition to step up, show up..and have fun. No modifications needed and nothing to buy except maybe a brass catcher. What more could you ask for?

Hope to see you this season! -Al

This is interesting.

The AR is not difficult to use in any BR competition. Insert a SS platform (or magazine) in the mag well, remove the ejector, and go for it.

I was allowed to compete with an AR at the old St. Louis BR Club years ago and had a great time. One warning………..You might get hooked!

When they say Clip do they mean magazine? Or do you have to leave the mag in place and try to load with a stripper clip.

Maybe they should realize an AR is different than a M1.
