Steven,

I wouldn't be so harsh, as there are lots of people doing exactly the reverse - like taking a former BP target rifle farq (action) and building a sporter on it. You know, those with the special safety lever... In my eyes, also sacrilege.
And don't forget someone already 'ruined' this singular piece...

Now, following rifle is most certainly one that just begs to be ripped to pieces for the single part worth anything, the action:

Barrel drilled with 6 holes, bolt welded in the chamber, buttstock and wood not original (and UGLY), and with extremely obvious repair...
Still, I purchased it - just for the action. And the wood will burn nicely in the stove...
