Read the CMP rulebook and I'm not clear on one thing.
Is a refinished rifle 'as issued'? A rifle can be re-barreled and be 'as issued' but can the receiver be re finished?

A refinished rifle is not an issue. The concern is that everyone be using rifles that equate with what would have been issues for service use. This serves to prevent someone from putting together a "super gun," i.e., a highly refined match rifle and then using it for such VMR match. To a degree this serves to keep such matches from being an equipment race. HTH. Sincerely. bruce.
Many rifles that came from the CMP (and the old DCM) were rebuilds that looked 'as new'. I have more then one.
Honestly, until you get in the top 10%, no one cares what has been done to the rifle.
Cosmetics don't matter unless you seal the stock with polyurethane
