Ugly is Ugly.. agreed. But this is how 1000's of them were spliced together in the old days, and how M-14 clones were made (chopping Garand receivers in half, shortening them, and re-welding) before M1's and then later M1A's were available.

Seems like a lot of work to get a rifle, but these things were not nearly as common in the 50's as they are now.

Today folks only weld things like Thompsons & Berettas back together.... (see attached)

Or MG-34's... (see attached as well)
