You better stop whatchin these auctions or you'll get pissed off even more (it does me), because there's nothing we can do about it. Until people refuse to pay the money to make it profitable for these mofokers to tear nice old guns apart, it'll continue. Some people justify it as keeping other old guns functioning, I think in just as many or more cases it's to "upgrade" a functional rifle to get more money than what it's worth in it's original condition. In the case of the '37 Super Grade that shirhitch just parted out on ebay, it's just as likely whoever buys that stock will stick a standard grade barreled action in it and try to foist it off on some poor sap as a true Super Grade. Didn't we just have someone post a Super that proved to be pieced together?
FYI, that '37 Super Grade stock and floorplate together are already over $1100
