Didn't see the action/brass though. He was pretty engrossed with his shooting and his mate who was coaching him there so I didn't want to intrude.

Pfft. Why would you do that to a rifle like that, not to mention the hassle
Better/easier to buy a new dedicate rifle. A new Howa or whatever isn't that much...

I honestly cant see the point in sporterising military surplus rifles either (as you could've guessed from the angry faces) but unfortunately not everyone thinks like me
I agree with buying a new rifle instead of destroying so much history
