More to the point. Have you ever been interested in or bought a firearm with modifications done to it but decided not to buy them due to the changes done? Specifically things like parkarizing, cerakoting, or some other change in the finish other than what it was manufactured with. A stock change with a different type, style, or type of material? I have passed on not buying a few due to them being parkarized, ceracoted, stocks changed to polymer from original wood, added rails that are not original to the firearm, etc. In particular an East German Makarov that was parkarized (looked hideous) that I sent back to the seller for refund, an SKS in a polymer aftermarket stock that just didnt look or feel right to me, and an AK that was in polymer furniture and cerakoted that just didnt look right, both of which I passed on buying. Maybe I am too pickey or too much of a purist? Mainly I am refering to milsurp firearms. What are your feelings on alterations or changes from the norm on firearms?
