I think we've all butchered or sporterized military surplus rifles in the past. I cringe to think of the wonderful '98 Mausers that I sporterized in the 1950's when they cost $15 each and you could just walk into Interarms Firearms (Alexandria, VA) and have your choice of any of the hundreds that were piled high on the floor.
Mauser �94�s, �95�s, �98�s, Lee Enfields, Mannlicher Carcano�s, M-I rifles, M-1 carbines, Boy�s Anti Tank rifles (50mm) and a couple of Lathi 20mm canons were just sitting on the floor for purchase!
Who else is guilty?
