VIC IPSC magazine exemption

Post by Gun-nut » 23 Feb 2021, 12:41 am

G'day everyone,

Been looking into some IPSC comps lately as they've peaked my interest, and it has come to my attention that there is supposedly an exemption given to ipsc shooters to utilise higher capacity magazines for their rifles than on a standard shooting licence. Is this fairly common in practice, or another one of those "technicalities" where it's legal to do so, but never actually gets approved. Anyone have any experience with this, or know someone who has?

Cheers fellas.

I don't know (bear with me). If I was to assume this was the case, I would think that the cat A/B/H would need to be listed as a collectors licences also. You'd probably find that the major IPSC clubs in VIC also run collectors clubs at the same location, could be one of the reasons? Though Ibhave not heard of higher capacity magazines being used in IPSC though I do not shoot it, yet.

If it were held on a Collector's Licence you wouldn't be able to use it for IPSC. Collector's licenced firearms can _only_ be used at approved collector club shoots.

Never heard of this.
What rifles are people using in IPSC here?
Personally, IPSC is supposed to be a Practical sport, so it should operate with the same mag restrictions allowed by our laws.

Nice one. I'm assuming the rifle of choice is the Remington 7615?

Interesting, the Warwicks don't take the AR-15 magazines though do they?

Yeah of course they do. I have a gen 2 pmag that you need to slap the base of every few rounds to get it to sit properly but I just got a gen 3 and it seems fine so far.
