I would appreciate some input on this subject.

A short time ago I purchased a K98icon from SOG in pretty beat up condition. See pics.

The good thing is that the markings are untouched. However there were field mods done to the weapon that I'm considering undoing. The sling position was moved from sideways to a vertical carry. This was done by hammering the forward sling loop into a reverse position and nailing a loop in the buttstock.

I am considering removing the buttstock loop by pulling the nails out and replacing the front loop with a standard part so I can return it to its original sling configuration.

Good idea or bad idea?

Thanks
