Most of us here are glad you feel that way.My first gun was a Santa Fe Lee that was sporterized by a company named Golden State Arms. I did put a synthetic stock on it to replace the cut down origional. I have several milsurps of varying nations including more than a couple of Mosin 91/30s. although I don't value the Mosins as I do some of the others, I am at the finish of a non Bubba sporterization which I have enjoyed. I can completely restore it in a matter of minutes. Right now I have this little devil on one shoulder with a scope and mounts and his counterpart with all the origional parts and a screw driver on the other shoulder. I do have sporting rifles so I probably will never drill it, but my eyes arent getting younger and I would like to see just how accurate it can be. __________________ "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things.
