...That would neither lower value of or irreparably damage the wood furniture on historical milsurp rifles like the SMLE, Krag Carbine, Mausers and Mosin-Nagants from until the invention of the STG-44 and the AK-47 in the last years of WWII ending and leaving its mark on human history?
I've said it here and will say it again, a dream for me is a historically significant Lee-Enfield rifle of my own in the future, when antique firearms are fiscally responsible of me to invest in (I'm 18 as of this week.) in the future, if I can find a way to mount optics and such on it.
And, honestly, there are few pre-AK aftermarket parts I can think of that don't require a gun have factory or aftermarket work done to make it picatinny rail compatible as the first AK's and AKM's were by way of left-side mounted picatinny rail receiver covers that kept the charging handles easy to access while making disassembly or jam clearing in the field harder, nigh impossible, under stress, or, at the case may be, threat of death or injury to gunfire.
So, in short, anyone know of non-permanent ways to tap a rifle as historically significant and potentially value as a milsurp or "antique" bolt rifle circa WWI and WWII?
