Rules from the CMP web site (we follow as much as possible):
GENERAL INFORMATION. Competitors in the Springfield/Vintage Military Rifle
Match must use rifles that comply with CMP rules for As-Issued Military Rifles (Rule
6.2.4 applies to M1903 Springfields, M1917 Enfields, U. S. Krag rifles) or As-Issued
Foreign Military Rifles (Rule 6.2.5 applies to any manually operated foreign military
rifle). The same 200-yard As-Issued Military Match course of fire (Table 6, Course
A) that is used for the Garand Match is used for Springfield/Military Rifle competition
except that 80 seconds, not 70 seconds, are allowed for the prone rapid-fire stage.
Shooters begin with five sighting or practice shots and then shoot ten shots for
record in the prone position in a 15-minute time period. This is followed by a prone
rapid-fire series. Shooters begin the rapid-fire stage from the standing position
where they are commanded to load, then get into the prone position and fire ten
shots, with one reload, within the 80-second time limit. The final ten record shots
are fired in the standing position with a 10-minute time limit.
SPRINGFIELD OR VINTAGE MILITARY RIFLE MATCH OPTION. The Springfield/Vintage
Military Rifle Match is actually two competition events taking place at the same
time. Competitors in the match have the option of firing either an M1903 Springfield
in the Springfield Match or an as-issued military rifle in the Vintage Military
Rifle Match. Competitors cannot fire both events, but they do not have to decide
which type of rifle they will fire until the day of the match. If any unfilled firing
points remain on the afternoon relays after squadding tickets are issued on the
range, competitors who fired one rifle in the morning may fill those empty positions
and fire the other rifle in the afternoon. Competitors who would like to fire the
second rifle may place their names on the afternoon group waitlist. Entry fees for
this second match option will not be collected until it is determined that firing
positions are available. Waitlist priority will first be given to any shooters who
have not fired in either the Springfield or Vintage Military Rifle Matches.
