Several times I have read on these forums questions about converting military rifles and the fact that you can buy a M70/M700 and others in the range of $400.00 to $800.00.
The concensus is that it is not worth the money or the time to equip a military rifle with the hinged floorplate, adjustable trigger, side safety, etc. that your 4-600.00 purchase comes with from the factory, NIB.
Anyone with a room temperature IQ would not have to ask that question if he saw the rifles pictured. Granted, some of them might cost more than $400.00, but the way I see it, if you have it, then go for it. I have and I did, on more than one occasion.
I don't have any good pictures to show, but I would not hesitate to do it again. If that is what you want and you have the money, you will get a bargain regardless of the cost of a steel guard and floorplate.
