I really don't have any intention of modifying a M54. It's just that recently I looked at a couple at shows and at a local auction that had been Bubba'ed and that got me thinking about how one could replace the stamped trigger guard. My M54 .30-30 could be a candidate for modification as some benighted soul left behind 4 d/t'ed side mount screw holes on the left side of the receiver. Collector value is gone, but still in all, far be it for me to Bubba it further.
