There is a bubba'd ruined Mauser in my safe (I did NOT do it - it was given to me).
So it goes both ways.
I have two Mosins that Bubba got his hands on before I did. Bubba ground on the barrel of a Type 53 to mount a ChiCom bipod on it and didn't reblue the area he worked on or anything - heck, he didn't even smooth out where he ground, just locked the bipod on!
The other is a Model 1891 that had had all its finish worn off it. So Bubba painted everything black with black gloss spray paint, including the sights! It's infuriating, but enough mineral spirits and steel wool will fix that. What I can't forgive Bubba for is cutting a walnut stock down and throwing away the handguard. Trying to find a Model 1891 stock and handguard isn't quite like searching for the Holy Grail, but it's not far off!
One of these days, we need to catch Bubba in a dark alley and kick the hell out of him. Restocking a piece is one thing. Taking off accessories you don't need is okay, too, provided you do it carefully. But casual butchery ought not to be allowed!
i for one am a "nutbrain that collects russian rifles and talks funny about mythical bigfoots and rides a tricycle and mop." and good sir i dont like your tone.
