This looks like a lot of fun. If I lived closer, I'd probably run my FAL in it, just for kicks and grins. It is a little bit of a head scratcher that they don't allow 20" M16A1 and A2 clones with iron sights. Seems they'd be a natural exemption. But then you'd probably wind up with CAR-15s and some of the exotic variations, which is probably why the banned AR-15s to begin with.
The word is out, and it’s moving through the ranks like a radio call in the dark. The first annual Comrade Cup is coming; a one-day shooting match celebrating the timeless battle rifles of the Eastern Bloc and their Western counterparts.
On March 28, the rifles of the Cold War step onto the line at the Bone Valley Industries Range in Mulberry, Florida. This is a premier Central Florida facility with a focus on serious firearms training, from long range to close quarters battle action.
The Comrade Cup bans AR-15 patterns, and brings shooters back to the roots of the Cold War, when rifles were forged from steel, soaked in mud, and carried by men who expected to use them.
If it rode in a Warsaw Pact truck or a NATO convoy between 1950 and 1990, it belongs here. Expect to see Kalashnikovs in every dialect, Galils, FALs, SVDs, Valmets, VZ58s, mini-14s, M1A1s, all HK-style roller guns in 556 or 308, Daewoos, and more.
Divisions will be split into Light (5.56/5.45) and Heavy (7.62×39, 7.62x54R, 7.62×51), with separate categories for Irons and Optics, ensuring that everyone from purist iron-sight warriors to modern red-dot users get a fair fight.
