It seems to my, in my limited exposure to the history of the sport (took a long long break) that the whole term stock class (and therefore the rules of stock class) came from a time when playing this way had already become outside the norm. Back in '88 we didn't play stock class... we played paintball. I think it only became known as stock class when the majority were playing semi-ball.
