I traded a guy an old .410 break for a semi .22LR that always jammed on him. I took it apart and cleaned all the TRANSMISSION OIL off it and it worked like a charm!
I knew a guy who tried to mount a dovetailed scope mount on his rifle by using a grinder and dremel tool to mill it.
I saw a guy ruin a perfectly good 30-30 by drilling lots of holes in the end of the barrel because he though it would suppress the flash and lower the recoil. All it did was give him zero accuracy past 50 feet.
Worst one would have to be the guy that bought a G-43, threw away the stock, mounted it on a carbon stock and milled it to take a huge scope and had it re-blued to a dull green and grey finish.
Why not just buy a brand new Semi-Rifle instead of ruining an irreplaceable collectable!
