Sounds like a good time , and not too far.

Is there a list of rifles allowed. Or just any military rifle available during WWII? Krags were issues to someone during WWII , no?

Im left wondering if it is a "World War Two Practical Rifle Match" and the first requirement is "A period suitable firearm" why would SBR,suppressors and SIG Braces even need to be mentioned ?

If you had a specific rifle you wanted to use I would check with Lastdefender. They had a sniper match a couple years back and he allowed me to use my 8x scope on my Springfield after I proved it was used in the war.

They have the same disclaimer for all of their practical rifle matches, this is the only one not using modern weapons with such devices present.

I imagine the exception would be a Thompson M1. They had 10.5" barrels and were definitely used in WWII and if you have a semi auto 10.5" then it would be an SBR.

Any centerfire period military rifle (excluding the SKS) is fine.

That is our standard disclaimer. SBR's are fine for this match as people have semi-auto versions of WW2 guns such as Stens and Thompsons. All we ask is you bring your paperwork.
