Duane Thomas Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I did a search and can't find this topic elsewhere, my apologies if this has already been asked and answered before. Anway, I wasn't able to get onto IDPA.com to read the DMG rules (anyone else finding that site inaccessible lately?). However I was able to find a copy of the provisional rules online, and I found them a bit confusing in the area in which I'm interested. Specifically, there is the statement that no rifle used in DMG may have a compensator with a diameter of more than 1". But then comps are not listed on the inclusive list of permitted modifications, and "recoil reducing devices" are on the list of verboten mods. These two statements (that you can't have a comp of over 1" diameter and that recoil reducing devices are verboten period) seem contradictory. Perhaps that was cleared up in the final version. My question: are compensators legal in either SSG or ESG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Perhaps that was cleared up in the final version. Final version? There's a final version? All I find on their website is the provisional PDF to which you allude: http://www.idpa.com/...es_07062010.pdf Personally, I'm still waiting for clarification on the classification strategy :-( http://www.beachbunn...idpa/DMGpop.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Tompkins Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 It is confusing, but as the no "recoil redcing devices" is appled to the SSG division which includes all three guns and rifles are explicitly permited 1in dia comps, I would think it only applies to shotguns and/or pistols.

Glock3422 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I am surprised anyone would care. DMG was DOA. Outlaw baby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Thomas Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 A female IDPA DMG shooter of my acquaintance has asked me to help her spec out a rifle. So yes, I care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trail3 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Our local club in Nor Cal feels that comps are allowed on a rifle if no more than 1" dia. Like the rules for Tac Optics in USPSA. Flash Hiders are illegal in California so most everyone runs a comp/muzzle brake. Still trying to figure out why the Factory Comfort Tec stock is not allowed on a Benelli M2, they kick much harder than my Remington 1100! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 So yes, I care. AS WELL YOU SHOULD!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmorris Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I wouldn't have someone build a rifle off of what we have right now. It would be too easy to force them into buying the wrong thing for a game that isn't played yet. If they want to build a "3 gun" rifle I would try to best fit into one of the games that exist and fit within the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastarget Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I thought 1" or less in diameter is a good general rule. There are large number of manufacturers, using hundreds of different muzzle treatments. Where would you start? or would you make everyone go buy one brand?
