I was just trying to point out that guns like the Lee Enfield #4 doesn't need to be altered. That magazine pops out with the press of a switch. The stripper clip that allows quick reloading on the battlefield is just a little strip of metal bent an a particular way. Again, no alteration to the weapon.

Also, I wouldn't make any alteration that was illegal. I'd probably be afraid to. Unfortunately, the psychotic guy who storms into my workplace to kill everyone won't care about that law and he'll have altered his gun regardless of what the law says.

and loss of The Precious.

I'm sorry, was it your intent to be consescending or insulting?
