Spike1911 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I am thinking about getting a friends 17 and shooting it in GSSF. I have read the rules and it states no stippling if you want to shoot it in stock class. The gun is stippled, so what if I cover it with grip tape? Can I still shoot it in stock class?

jakeh Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Here you go: (The Rules) 40.0 THE STOCK GLOCK AND MODIFICATIONS 40.10 Stock GLOCK Philosophy. It is our intention to keep Amateur-Stock and Master-Stock divisions on a “level playing field” by ensuring the use of stock GLOCK firearms in all divisions except for the Unlimited division. We want to avoid an equipment race in our sport and will not allow firearm modifications that provide an artificial and mechanical competitive advantage. The goal is to test individual skill where everyone is using comparable equipment. 40.20 Stock GLOCK Definition. For the Amateur-Civilian, Amateur-Guardian, Amateur or Master-Subcompact, Amateur or Master-Heavy Metal, Amateur or Master- Competition, Amateur or Master-MajorSubcompact and Amateur and Master-Master Stock divisions: GLOCK FIREARMS ARE CONSIDERED TO BE “STOCK” IF ALL FIREARM COMPONENTS ARE OR EVER HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE FROM GLOCK, INC. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED BELOW. If any component is not or has never been available from GLOCK, Inc. or if the firearm has been physically modified except as otherwise specifically noted below, it is not “stock” and is therefore restricted to use in the Amateur or Master-Unlimited division only. 40.30 Allowable Modifications to “Stock” • “Hogue Grip”-type sleeves, “A-Grip” panels, “skateboard tape” or other grip-enhancing materials that do not materially alter the function of the stock firearm • Slide and barrel stripping and/or refinishing • Pearce Grip, Inc. grip extenders only on G26, G27, G29, G30, G33, G36 and G39 magazines • Aftermarket replacement non-metallic base plates on magazines • Post and notch sights (“patridge” sights) excluding any sight requiring slide modifications. Please note that fiber-optic and “express” sights are approved. You may use any combination of GLOCK-produced firearms parts that do not result in a significant competitive advantage in the Stock divisions and that are, in the sole opinion of the match armorer, safe to utilize But, check out the last item under "illegal": 40.40 Specific Illegal Modifications in the “Stock” Divisions: • Any non-post and notch sight. This includes “Ghost Ring” or laser, electronic and optical sights. Please note that fiber-optic and express sights are permitted. • Wrap-around “grip sleeves” on magazines. • Aftermarket component parts to be used in the Amateur-Civilian, Amateur-Guardian, Amateur or Master Subcompact, Amateur or Master Heavy Metal, Amateur or Master Master-Stock, Amateur or Master Competition, and Amateur or Master Major- Subcompact divisions. • Aftermarket barrels. • Aftermarket recoil spring guide/recoil reducer assemblies. • Aftermarket extended slide stop levers. • Firing pins (modified/aftermarket). • Connectors (modified/aftermarket). • Metallic magazine well “funnels” or “slugs”. • Lights or other barrel weights including GLOCKproduced light/laser units. • Aftermarket metallic replacement frames. • Any modification deemed by the Range Master to create an unfair competitive advantage • Non-factory “stippling”. (Stippling that is burned or cut into the polymer frame) Sorry but in my opinion you would really need to ask the GSSF people for clarification. My first gut reaction would be that NO you would not be legal because of the "stippling" even though you are covering it up by a legal modification. Ask the "right" people and get the "right" answer.
