Is it wrong to modify a common military surplus rifle?

This thread really makes the perverse side of me want to slaughter some sacred cattle.

I chop my bikes, cars, guitars, and guns.

Though spoken by another, these words describe what is in my soul.

you can throw a few hundred bucks at your M44 and you'll still have a rifle that's a very durable POS.

Bwaaaa, ha, ha! I like that line!

Hard to build ANYthing from mil surp for 300 bucks that will out shoot and out hunt a Savage 110, not today. Mil surp "sporterizing" saw its day in the 50s when rifles were relatively expensive and mil surp could be had for pennies and gunsmiths worked for peanuts. That ain't the case now days.
