So I am reading the base rifle rules and it now says trigger job allowed. Does this mean I can only work the trigger over or can I run a timney? I am going shoot my first nrl22 match at a local range at the end of this month.

Nrl22 base rifle question
- Thread starter chopit
- Start date
Where are you reading anything about trigger jobs?
Few things:
1: if you’re not going to nationals, it’s 100% up to local MD
2: the rules (at least the ones I read, see pic) mention the $1050 doesn’t include “aftermarket triggers” in that price. So, I’d interpret that as it wouldn’t be mentioned if it weren’t allowed. Why say aftermarket triggers are not included in the pricing if they aren’t allowed?
So, I’d say you are g2g. If you’re planning on attending the national championship, then you may want to contact nrl and clarify that.
If you’re just going to shoot the local match, it’s up to the local MD to make the determination.
. Adjustments to the stock to get proper cheek weld, trigger jobs, and bedding of the stock are also allowed.
I guess that means modified factory parts by me or can i buy the kidd hammer kit and still be good?
Per the rules and clarification by the NRL22 owners.
Trigger mods and drop in triggers are legal in base class.
Reason? They did not want to be taking apart rifles prior to matches to determine class legality. To difficult and potential for problems to police this rule.

Which is fine for the local MD to regulate.
However, you will be taking away an option that is allowed at the national match.
Club members complained about the equipment race. We fixed that you change parts you shoot in open class. No more complaints what is done at the nationals is up to them.
Edit Specifying a minimum trigger pull weight in base class will solve that problem. Who cares who's trigger it is as long as it makes weight.

I would prefer that NRL set some definitive rules. The way it is now it is too confusing, too vague.
I will abide by whatever the rules are, they just need to be more concrete.
Had a discussion today with our NRL rep, he too is confused, and there is much confusion as to the August COF. Something to due with stating 2 different size steel targets for one of the stages. Even the powers to be have no idea, so......what to do?

One has to accept that monthly NRL22 matches a basically for fun and fun only. The local MD’s get to run their matches pretty much however they want.
The only thing that matters in the end, competitively speaking, is the national championship.
This is why the monthly scores for the entire year don’t add up to anything.
It costs and avg of $20 to shoot a monthly match and nrl22 only takes $30/mo from a club to post scores and do the drawings.
So, you can’t expect some extremely tight and coordinated effort all over the country for $20 match fee.
The issue he was referring to was the mix up in target size in the cof. At the top of the page it had one target size and the description had a different one.
The rules always defer to the local MD.
So, basically, when there is a discrepancy like that, the local MD just makes a judgment call.
Pretty simple. And it’s not a big deal. Especially for the low costs.
Actually I was referring to equipment rules. What is allowed, what isn't. After shooting NRA and CMP matches since the early '70's I guess I'm spoiled. The rules posted there are very clear, no question as to what is legal, what is not. The original Pass/Fail grading system.
An example in question for NRL is shooter equipment. Shooting coats, shooting gloves, kneeling rolls, etc. Talked with many shooters, even some that have gone to previous NRL Nationals. Seems like if it is NOT specifically mentioned that it can't be used, then it can. Just would like a more detailed explanation.
Another example of a better defined description comes from the current August COF. The stage where you shoot between the legs of the ladder with the rope tied approximately 12" from the ground. Do you have to shoot off the rope or just above it either sitting or kneeling? Just curious. It would be real easy to state that rifle must be resting on rope if that is what they intend.
Now all that said, really doesn't matter to me, I'll still go and shoot the match for many reasons.
As my club is one that sponsors these shoots, I go to support the club.
I have fun shooting the match and talking with other shooters.
As I'm an "old fart", and not really competitive in the venues I used to shoot 30-40 years ago, I still like to shoot competition. I'm not looking to travel to shoots all around the country like I used to do, so this fits the bill.
It gives me something to look forward to every month.
Being retired there is lots of time and limited things that can be done with minimal expenditure. This is one of them.
I always go to the matches early and help set up the range stages as well. I just enjoy shooting.
Good Shooting to you all!

About the only thing that we use at our local matches that's not specifically listed in the rules/COF is basic shooting mats on the ground. The local match director can allow other items if he wants. One of the guys I shoot with has bad knees and the match director had no problem when he used knee pads when shooting from a concrete floor.
In every NRL22 official monthly course of fire I've seen for the last year, if there is a barricade the rifle has to be supported by it. So in the ladder this month, the rifle has to be supported by the rope. Local match directors have the option to add additional stages that may be different.
