Hot take: WWII rifles aren’t inherently priceless historic artifacts and I don’t really care that much when they’re “bubba’d.”
They made millions upon millions of Garands, Enfield’s, Mosins, etc. The amount of war materiel in general produced was astronomical. If we treated every weapon, truck, tank, shell, ship, and piece of shrapnel as priceless, we wouldn’t have known what to do with it all. It’d be like a hoarding mentality on a societal scale.
So yeah, people cut down old war rifles into hunting rifles. Repurposed surplus trucks where they could. Scrapped countless more where they couldn’t. People moved on.
FYI the Sage chassis pictured is completely reversible and does not require altering the base rifle.
