The question of whether or not you can use a brass deflector on an AR Service Rifle in CMP EIC matches came up over on the National Match Forum. I sent an email to the CMP to get a ruling and it is posted below. I posted the answer on the NM Forum and on the CMP forum as well to get the word out. Some guys indicated they have used them in the past and had not been challenged by whoever was checking rifles prior to the EIC match. I highlighted the answer.
Hi,
Sorry it has taken me a little bit to get back to you but I had to touch base with Gary on this one and he is out at the Board Meeting. I did receive an email back from him with the ruling.
Brass deflectors are not legal on M16/AR15s. They are an after-market item and not military issue and therefore, are not legal.
Please let me know if you need anything else. Have a great day.
