[ARC5] On Hacking

[Francesco Ledda]

The Vandals about 1300 years ago melted most of the Roman statues to make
cement and other things... nothing is left of what Vandals made out of that
cement.

We, about 30 years ago, cannibalized, destroyed large quantities of US
surplus to make pretty much nothing out of it! 

What can I say, history repeats itself.

  I grew up in Montana in the 40's and 50's in a house full of guns and at
that time, at least,  sporterized M1903s were numerous and highly prized.  I
also recall that the NRA fully aided and abetted these mutilations with
numerous conversion articles and advertisements for stocks, sights, mounts,
gunsmithing tools, chemicals, etc., etc.  
in their monthly publication.
