I dont have a CMPicon rifle, but I feel there is one in my near future. Can't beat the price. I don't feel like I could change anything on one either, they are what they are. But if it was just one part that cought my eye every time I picked it up, what would it hurt? It is your rifle.

On the other hand I do have a rifle that is an import, with the barrel shot. And I have no problem with getting rid of that bad barrel. I am also replacing the other parts with "correct" ones. To me, if the gun has no history, why not? That is all part of the fun of collecting. Stripping it down, finding out about the different parts on it, and LEARNING the whole time doing it. And I must say, I get the same enjoyment out of this forum! I love this stuff!
