The collectors of 1903 Springfields (of whom I'm one sort-of) would have a collective apoplectic fit if one were to take an original uncut rifle and build a high quality sporter per the likes of which Michael has been showing us. But at the risk of sounding like a 1960's-era sporterBubba-izer where would the harm be if one created a truly high end sporter with such a one?
Not that I'm contemplating doing it mind you (sidelong glances at the couple of nice ones in my cabinet notwithstanding), I'm just curious as to the philosophical stance of y'all on this subject.
