In the "modified" classes OK, but not in military issue.

CBA Military rules require Issue barrels and actions for all classes.  Modifications to the barrel (including custom throating) are not allowed with the exception of shortening/re-crowning.  See section 5, Equipment requirements..

in the military rules they say to reference benchrest rules and I see no rule against throating in those and unless shooting  issue class.i  see no exclusions in the rules for the others

 

"5.7 Military Rifle Matches - The rules for Registered Military Rifle Matches shall follow existing CBA Benchrest rules with the following additions and exceptions."

as far as altering a barrel the military rules allow shorting no less than 20" for classes other than issue.So I'd "assume" the rules for those follow production class rifles. Especially since modified scope military rifles can be shot in production class. 

 

 

 

I feel the rules need clarification

The CBA Benchrest rules apply when there is no military rule addressing the subject.  Since there is a Military rule addressing equipment requirements, the CBA Benchrest rule about equipment requirements is not applicable. Section 5 clearly states that modified Iron/scope classes require "issue action and barrel".  Since the rule does specify that the barrel may be shortened but does not address any other modification, it follows that other modifications are not allowed.

There certainly are areas where both the Benchrest and Military rules could use clarification and the board is addressing changes as they are proposed.

If we use production class as a base before military class exceptions is reads "Alterations not expressly prohibited by these rules are allowed."

 

To me that says unless specifically prohibited it's ok?

The production (or any other benchrest) rules are irrelevant to this conversation.  Traditional benchrest rules only apply when there is no relevant Military rule. 

Going by what some of the folks who wrote those rules told me, the only reason the shortened barrels were allowed was that so many had already been shortened when they were "sporterized".  Since one modification was specifically allowed, it logically follows that any other modification would also have to be specifically allowed.

As the rule states, "issue action and barrel" are required for all military classes.
