Yeah I could've left the lug on, but I've seen pictures of that and I hate the look. The grenade sight wasn't going to be used for anything, so it went too. The actual launcher is still there, and will be until I pick up a recrowning tool. Then, off it comes! It was really weird using a dremel on a gun, a very surreal experience. I'm used to babying them rather than cutting off pieces. I won't do that to my Mauser, or my M44, even if the bayonet is just extra weight. I never really intended for them to be "practical" guns so that stuff doesn't matter. If I was going to sportize them that would be different... but I would rather just get a T/C for that kind of thing anyway.
