The easy, cheat, and normal versions of Legendary Modification allow you to pop off the Legendary mods (and have the "none" selection), so that you can move it to other items and scrap the regular weapon. The hard and survival (extra immersion hard) versions of that mod intentionally lock legendary mods onto weapons, the point being you need to scrap them with the legendary mods attached to get the extra item that lets you craft legendary mods yourself. You should be able to scrap items with Legendary effects on them, unless there's a mod conflict blocking that maybe? I'm not sure what happens if you remove the legendary mod and then scrap. Do you get the legendary crafting piece (can't remember what it's called..)? If you still get that, and you also got to pop the mod off, this might qualify as a cheat relative to the intent of that mod.
I realize the author is just trying to fix a problem they've had, but I think the problem already shouldn't be there and there's something wrong. Might also be something Bethesda changed that's interfering with the functionality of Legendary Modifications mod scrapping and crafting in hard and survival versions. I'm using normal right now, seems to work as intended.
I've looked into it and found the cheat version does not have the mod attached to the craftable object. I think it was an update on bethesda's part. I uploaded this as a temporary fix to anyone having the same problem I am and are not familiar with editing mods.
There are different versions of Legendary Modification that you can choose in the installer. Easiest version allows you to remove legendary traits and reuse them on something else. I do it all the time.
