So no In lines?

The fact that it allows pair firing in 60 minute relays makes it great for someone looking to get into shooting BPTR.

I got an inquiry from the Match director this morning on my opinion on this subject. I told him if there were enough just make a separate class or throw them into cartridge class, although if you are using iron sights and a sling only I don't think there would be any advantage over the originals or Gibbs rifles.
