What was done to this AI AW makes me sad

Problem solved, problem staying solved

I would love an old dovetail AW, but damn...

It's also the 1.0 configuration so not so great.

I've get a dovetail in the 2.0 configuration, if it was a 2.0 config, it might be worth close to what they want even being bastardized.
As it is, I'm thinking $2k ish is about where it should be.
 
gotta say, I don’t really see anything wrong with it. It’s black and stainless.... With all your responses, I was expecting it to be 100% gold plated. Sure, it doesn’t look like a military rifle anymore, but its definitely not gaudy. Most of my rifles are stainless with a black stock.
 
Way to take a rifle that already exists explicitly for the purpose of making people know they’re poor, and turn it into a rifle that makes all the other owners of those rifles realize they’re poor too.

Depending on the finish it could be for marine use.
I have seen a few older guns and actual factory built kits set up for use at sea. Model 70 Winchesters, Colt Woodsmans, 1911 Colts. Thompsons etc.
Some were quite elaborate with spares kits etc.
 
I was expecting worse too. Like a Hello Kitty or Punisher theme with gaudy color schemes.
No different than other stainless guns with synthetic stocks.
