ard212 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Basically that, because of local gun laws, the only semi auto rifle with a detacheable magazine that I was able to get is a FN FNAR, it uses propietary magazines, so, most mag pouches either don't work or don't provide a level of retention that I like, I'm planning on buying a Blue Force Ten Speed 308 Chest Rig (Link) and was wondering, since I normally shoot PCC, if it was OK for magazines to be carried that way, and for reloads to come from, well, the chest, from what I've been able to research, it seems it would be, but I would ratter be sure before I spend 100+ dollars in product + shipping/customs, just to end up with something I cannot use. Thanks and I really hope I'm not making a really REALLY dumb question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schutzenmeister Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 IPSC Handgun rules require spare ammo be carried in holders/pouches worn at the waisted level. However, the Rifle rules only state the following: 5.2.4. Ammunition and speed loaders must be carried or worn on the competitor or mounted to the rifle in safely designed pouches, pockets or other suitable retention devices, unless otherwise specified in the written stage briefing. Hence, I would say you're probably good to go. However, I'm certified as an IROA RM in HG ... I have limited experience with the Rifle rules. I recommend you double check the above with a senior IROA official from your home (or nearby) region who has more hands-on experience with the IPSC Rifle rules that do I.

That was what I thought also. The handgun rules had restrictions as did the shotgun anti-suicide bomber rules. Rifle had none! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrydoc Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Yeah I bounced it around on the FB rules page as well, that's where I was given that rule 12. out of Div rules, otherwise I just went of the rule book itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
