.......... Yep. Sell 'em or keep 'em, but don't hack at them. It will only de-value them and you probably will end up with a POS that won't shoot worth a hoot. You should be able to pick up a decent used Remchester with glass for around $500, I would think. You will undoubtedly have more than that in "sporterizing" the mil gun. Like Teddee said... "Been there- Done that"...
