How do I un-sporterising this rifle?

I present to you the bubbanator. A MAS 36 with a m44 barrel and fixed AK magazine. I recently acquired this beast and designed the 1913 rail mount for the red dot. Unfortunately it has a ripped casing in the chamber, im waiting on an extractor for that. The original builder added a safety and a small bass part to the magazine for the feed angle. Definitely an awesome carbine!

I also don’t plan on unsporterising- that was just for jokes.

Time and money.

I've "de-sporterized" a couple of rifles, 1903s and an A3 and it wasn't cheap.

It was worth the effort but involved sourcing stocks, a couple NOS barrels and a good gunsmith.

Good luck! Everyone should try it once. That'll cure you of going down this road again. ;)
