Yeah, read that post . I laughed. I can see not molesting any rifle if it's absolutely, positively, 100% untouched, unmolested, as issued condition.
Other than that, just like all surplus rifles that have become available since ww2 which number in the millions, all bets are off and build them, customize them, modify them, so they work best for the way you want to use them.
Post 40 is by the same guy who started a thread about German superiority in WW2.
Quite honestly the guy sounds like a real jagg-off.
