Mr Pale Horse,what can I say? I'm sick. As my grand daughter would say,"my heart hurts". Excuse me now as I go..do something else.....anything else...
Wow. Couldn't have said that better, myself.

I have a modest collection of firearms, and only a few of them haven't been modified in any way since I acquired them.
It is rare that I see an off-the-shelf firearm that I can't improve upon at least a little bit to better suit my desires for it.
It *usually* lowers the value too
However, if my great grandson can go out and put a hole in the x-ring 50 years from now with a gun I 'customized' that's a part of my legacy and is more valuable to me than any sum of money.
Worrying more about preserving the relics of the Soviet past than preserving the crumbling foundations of America's future is a sickness.
But someday, probably after I'm dead, someone will post a picture of that rifle on the internet complaining how some idiot ruined a piece of history.
It's the feeling for me, whenever i see an old Finnish Mosin chopped badly or a K98k destroyed it feels like a slap to the face
Oooohhh. Yeah, that's what I was talking about. Somebody's grandson's gonna be kicking dirt on his grave over that!Someone mention cut-up Krags?
