Modifying old surplus rifles

How do you guys feel about modifying/renewing old surplus rifles?

I'd personally never do this to other eventually more rare weapons but since my stock broke at one point i fixed it and coloured it new.

I dig the look but i got a lot of shit for it.

Its a nugget, it does not matter.

now if you took a rare nugget or just about any other surp rifle, see

I'm in the minority but I prefer guns restored to original over a rusty pitted mess

user please take a pic of the receiver so we can see the factory and year of this gun. This is a hex receiver so you already made a huge mistake and know it (that's why you're seeking validation from strangers), but I need to know the extent of your fuckup so you can be properly shamed.

Well for what it's worth it's a hex receiver but it cost me 200€ and it didn't match any numbers so the damage it took by the wood breakig wasn't really that bad so i just tried to make it look different.

Other than that i agree.

You do realize that I've only did modify the buttstock that broke. I can buy other original ones in a heartbeart if i wanted so that was no eternal fuckup.
