Restoring the M1 Carbine

[painter777]

zertouche,
You make some good points.
How about these guys that restore vintage hot rods......I recently watched a auction, where the seller had $65 K in the restoration.......his rod sold for just over 1/2 that.

I love your "Like buying a zero clearance $2500 riding lawn mower for a postage stamp sized front lawn" quote.
I have a neighbor who mows every day. About a 1/3 acre with a small garage just full of every attachment made.

Your correct in saying their only original once. Anything after that should fall under maintenance and restoration.

I don't argue with seeing a part with no finish left being re-parked so it can be around another 50 years. Better to see it saved than watch it rust away.
Nothing wrong with PIMPING OUT a shooter.

Good Weekend To You
