Guns
Rethinking “sporterized” military surplus rifles
Within the MilSurp community, there exists many distinct circles of enthusiasts. There is the German rifle collector, the American focused collector, the guy only looking for the guns he once used, and the young guy who wants to connect with their legacy of heroic battles and made for television action just to name a few. The desire to own a rifle for these reasons typically leads buyers to place a premium on the guns’ actual use in war, on whether it was in the hands of common soldiers, officers or specialists and on examples that are as close to their military career condition as possible. So it is understandable that, from these folk’s points of view, “sporterizing,” or the process of converting a military arm into a civilian hunting rifle, might be akin to painting the holy cross purple. Or is it?
