To the OP – Great Thread!!!
Being a long time 03 FFL holder I hate to see any old battle rifle bubba’d but if a person converts one and does so in a competent professional manner then OK – it’s their gun.
I do cringe when I see some of the more rare examples modified.
I have no real issues when some one takes a bare receiver that was is in marginal condition and use that receiver to build a completely new firearm from it.
Example would be a K98 or Mosin receiver.
I have modified a few receivers into other calibers but they were built from basic parts guns.
The bottom line is – it is their gun and money and no matter how much chest beating and hollering we do that fact will not change.
