I don't know about Dave Riffle, but I would look at that type of activity the same way I view putting together 03 Springfields out of parts. As long as the numbers match up, and the parts are "correct", what's the problem?

Of course, altering Standard barrels to Carbines, re-stamping barrel dates, turning down barrels on a lathe to make a "Gopher Special", etc. is another matter entirely. Or, in the case of the 03, repro cartouches or air gauge stamps.
