Here are pics of the right front of the forestock and handguard.
If there was a front sight, it was cut off when the barrel was shortened.
Three quick questions:
1) So this probably started life as a rifle before being cut down?
2) Should I spend the time and money finding and replacing proper sights if it already is too short and has the wrong handguard?
3) Or should I continue the sporter process and make it into a shooter with new modern sights?
I hate to continue the ruination of a classic, but I'd prefer for it to have a new home where it is appreciated. But I'm a 1911 fan and am not much into martial long arms.
Thanks!
