That's the approach I took with the 98k - on the other hand my Enfield SMLE is an all matching LSA 1915, complete with original woodwork, volley sights and 215Gr RN rear sight ramp. I wouldn't mess with it for anything but at the same time it is (IMHO) a real responsibility and that is not always comfortable when bagging it up and taking it to the range.

Either way - for me keeping these rifles shooting is what it is all about.
