Competitors who are not members of NWCSA will be required to sign an affidavit and liability release prior to competing in the match.

Squadding: There will be at least three relays, with a maximum of 12 shooters per relay. Rifles from any type may be fired in any relay. Two separate rapid-fire strings will be run back-to-back in each relay: a 70-second string for Garands and an 80-second string for all bolt-action rifles.
Firearms Allowed: Rifles must be “as-issued” and comply with CMP rules which can be found at http://www.odcmp.com/Competitions/Rulebook.pdf . In general, as-issued rifles must have standard stock and sights, and are not allowed to have: National Match parts; shims or glass bedding; non-standard calibers; special purpose sniping or target sights; or non-standard parts. Minimum trigger weights are 4.5 lbs for the Garand, M1917 and Krag, and 3.5 lbs for Springfields and foreign military rifles. The following are excerpts from the CMP rules regarding allowable rifles – competitors should consult the CMP Rules for full details.
M1 Garand: The rifle must be a Caliber .30 U. S. M1 Garand rifle in as-issued condition that was issued by the U.S. Armed Forces. A Caliber .30 M1941 Johnson rifle or a U.S. Carbine Caliber .30 M1 may be fired in matches designated for M1 Garand rifles. Unlimited Garands (NM, accurized, cal. 7.62 NATO, or commercial M1 rifles) may also be fired, but will not be eligible for awards.

ECIs must remain in the rifles at all times, except during preparation and firing periods. NWCSA has loaner ECIs available at the range.
Sharing Firearms: Two or more competitors may use the same firearm in a match if squadding
permits.
No Alibis or Refires: All CMP Matches are no-alibi events. There are no refires for rifle or ammunition malfunctions. Competitors may attempt to clear malfunctions and continue firing, provided they handle their firearms in a safe manner while clearing their firearms.
