Thanks guys. I'm not a strict preservationist like most of those here; I am still trying to decide where "Bubbaing" a rifle begins.

My 91/30 has shims, an improved, Finn-style M39 type trigger, and a few other goodies. Looks stock, but it shoots better than it ever did.

I don't consider it Bubba'd.

If I used duct tape and JB Weld to do these things, I'd consider it Bubba.

Thanks again, and I'll keep in touch!

Regards,

Josh

Too me anything reversible that doesn't destroy any of the firearms parts or design is fine. If it perminantly mods any parts original to the rifle its the work of bubba. On new commercial sporters its a different story though.
Let me make a short, open, blanket comment. There are no good guns. There are no bad guns. Any gun in the hands of a bad man is a bad thing. Any gun in the hands of a descent person is no threat to anyone--- except bad people. -- Charleton Heston

Guns are not good, they are not evil. Save those descriptions for the people holding the firearm. -- Unknown
