That was my brother-in-law‘s attitude when he sportarized a large ring 8 mm Mauser K 98 made in 1915 or 16 in Berlin. If he had left it alone it would be worth over $1500 but after he had the chamber drilled so he could use 30/06 brass with 8 mm bullets making it an 8mm/06 in a Monte Carlo stock it’s not worth near what it would be in original condition
Not sure if K 98 is right

Well it happens.
Now you want to know the crazy side of this. Your Brother in law does something like that to one rifle for himself and he brings down its value. If you Brother in law worked for a South American country and he did that to 100s of guns for a military unit.
Then he made a variation and it may be worth more.
Moral to the story make more then one.
