I can't for the life of me understand why someone would want to alter, say, a Russian Mosin-Nagant that some Soviet soldier may have humped all the way to Berlin during WWII.

Because I can't tell the difference between one that was "carried to Berlin" and one that murdered Polish officers or stole food from peasants leaving them to starve, or one that spent its entire life guarding a gulag....
And it wasn't the rifle that did it, it just happened to be in the hands of PEOPLE who did those things (and more).
I don't hate Bubba for modifying what someone else sees as a sacred historical artifact, I hate Bubba for doing a crappy job of it.
