Geez, if this disturbs you then take time to look at what mil-surp collectors are doing to 1903 and 03A3 Springfields. I bet there have been more of them torn down and reconfigured in garages and on kitchen tables in the name of "correcting" than the U.S. Government did in two world war's worth of rebuilding programs! It really does cast a pall of suspicion on all such rifles you look at in the future.
