Someone also f****d up that swiss rifle too in the first photo... Too bad.
This phrasing, or something similar, is the basic lie to oneself used by many people starting down the slippery slope that ends in outright fraud. It cannot be "returned" to a configuration (as a carbine) that it never had!
Eaglelord17 expressed the situation perfectly.
It starts as falsification - the notorious "returned to correct original configuration" - becomes faking when the result is pushed as "original" - and finally ends as fraud when the fake original is sold as genuine for an enhanced price.
