Cut the darn thing off. I did to my Chinese type 53 mosin carbine, just had to adjust the sights slightly when done. Now I'm thinking of cutting off the front sight and having the barrel ported and recrowned.
I paid $50 for mine at a pawn shop. I'm not all too concerned about the collectible value or about altering the gun.
