Example: Measure barrel length with a dial or digital caliber with a minimum accuracy of +/-0.001 inch. Semi-auto barrels are measure from the breach face to the longest point on the muzzle end of the barrel with action closed. Revolver are measured in a simlar maner but from the face of the cylinder to the further point on the muzzle end of the barrel (cylinder may be turned to facilitate puting the caliper depth rod on cylinder face). Measurements will be made to the third decimal point then round off to the second decimal point using standar rounding rules. (ie 4.105 = 4.11 and 4.104 = 4.10) Barrel must be 4.10 or less.





Don't you just love it when the smuggly presented examples are wrong?


I did not mean to come across smug and apologize if my post was taken that way.  I simply would like to see a rule book that is clearly written without a lot of room for different interpretation as these cause problems.

As for the mistake on the revolver barrel length measurement (assuming that was what you where refering) then that was due to looking at the new BUG-R rules as I was also engage in a discussion on the BUG division so when I looked at the rule book I looked at the BUG-R division rules instead of the Revolver division.  Again I apologize for the error.  I think the thurst of my post is still clear despite that mistake.

Interestingly as I write this post I went back and re-read the Revolver division and they no longer specify cylinder face or cylinder end of the barrel in the Revolver equipment section on barrel length.
