>Sporterizing a Carcano
Disgusting.
>>31871545
This kills the Kennedy
>not sporterizing milsurp rifles
You know why so many of those old rifles were sporterized? Because they'd be useless without sporterization.

didnt do it myself, was only 160 so i figured why not
ive shot one of these, was shit quality.
would rather have a mosin.

1: better hope that was originally a carbine, because if it wasn't no matter how good of a shot you are it won't shoot sub 10 moa groups because they used a progressive rifling which means that the pitch of the rifling gets faster along the length of the bore and shortening it destroys accuracy.
2: I hope that scope is not your only method of sighting because damn they did a bad job of it

OK chief.
>>31871772
No, guys just wanted cheap milsurp rifles to look like the more expensive sporting rifles.
Functionality was added if a scope was mounted, but I usually don't hunt with glass unless I know I'll be shooting past 150 yards.

Good deal. That sporter stock (looks like a Bishop) is worth at least $100-125 IIRC
>>31871873
i noticed when i shot it long distances you can barely hit shit, thought it was the scope. unfortunate cause i wanted to hunt with it, should i buy a new barrel?
>>31871928
they wanted them to be lighter, which is why they chopped the front end of the stock
>>31871887
yeah that scope has to go its really shitty, any recommendations for a better one?

All this autism. There is nothing wrong with sporterizing a milsurp rifle.
>>31872015
There was a reason someone sold it, get a new barrel if a new scope doesn't solve the issue.
I can't wait to buy that M41 and K98k from my grandpappy...

>theres nothing wrong with throwing away the entire value of an object and destroying its history at the same time
>>31873359
Adding a scope to a inexpensive milsurp is okay, but full sportering is retarded in this day and age.

>Mass produced rifles that have sat in storage for 3/4's of their existence have value and history
>>31871736
figured i may as well buy the model that killed my second favorite president
>>31873981
A gun is just a gun
Sporterizing makes these guns useful, otherwise they are too heavy and inaccurate
>>31872015
Scope look like those cheap pieces of shit you get for bb guns
>>31874016
They literally do you mong. Practically no sporterized milsurp are worth more than $150

>im a shit shot and too weak to hold a 7 pound rifle
There is no situation where sporterizing milsurp isnt retarded in the current year.
