"Sad"

In the fact that making them into "scary, black, killing machines" puts them more onto the libturd radar.

"Really sad"

Altering a "classic" pre-64. I would be buying a newer '94, do the alterarations for them and KEEP the original.

I love lever guns. The new tacticool styles are bringing some of the younger generation into the fold. The new models are cool, but not destroying a classic.

I'm just entering into the lever gun field. Henry .22 mag and my FIL Marlin 336 which will remain as inherited.
I'm in the crowd that says if you can find a classic gun and can make it pretty, get after it.
The classic crowd says leave it as found as the value will decline if modified.
I don't care. I don't sell guns but have restored several to new condition like a Win Mod 12 shotgun and some older .22's by refinishing the stocks. My heirs can debate if that should or should not have happened.
Put a short tube red dot on the Henry .22 mag, using it for armadillos and the lever gun steel challenge at our range.

Your gun, your rules, no? That's my philosophy.
