why do people sportorized military rifles?

I know some people will put on a synthetic stock on so they don’t scratch up there nice wood stocks while hunting. even as much as it kills me I have a synthetic stock on my Finnish upgrade Mosin Nagant because the original wood is much to bad of a condition to be usable. So I’m buying a wall hanger Mosin Nagant to switch out the stock and maybe use for parts. The people I’m talking about will get a M44 and put on a synthetic stock with a Scope mount, Bi-Pod, Laser and all the Tacti-Cool stuff. I’ve actually seen a mosin like that. The worst was when I was in a gun shop and a guy came in and said he had a old M1903 in original condition his Father left him. When me and a gun shop employee asked more about it. He said sportorized it, Synthetic Stock, Bi-pod and drilled and taped for a scope. I was biting my tongue. I was just at complete aw some one would kill such a beautiful Rifle. Not like it was a 18 year old video game nerd this guy looked in his late twenties. So, any thoughts on why are willing to take away the history of these old rifles?
