Just for the sake of clarity when "Bubba" comes into a discussion about firearms to me there is the intimation of a high level incompetence.
In my mind there is a big difference between a "Bubba'd rifle and one that was tastefully and competently sporterized.
I've seen many sporterized military rifles that I would be very proud to own. Particularly from the late 1940s the 50s. In the pictures I posted above the top is all Bubba the bottom is a well done sporter.
I strongly believe that it is better to preserve the complete rifles still out there but "To each their own" as they say.
