Pretty much like MadRabbit said. Sporterized isn't necessarily a bad thing, it just makes me sad that a service rifle has been modified is all. Much like classic cars that were cut up for use as stock cars or dragsters, or classic Harleys that were butchered into choppers. I'm from the era where $500 Harley Panheads and old Police Harleys were common and people made choppers out of 'em to "improve" them. Once you become a "collector" of things, it can apall you to think of the things that you and others did in your youth.
"Oooooweeee, Bubba! Hold my beer and gimme dat torch, Ima gonna hack this off so it'll go better!" Yeah, I've been there.
