Recent purchase that I finally took home yesterday evening. Came as a total mixmaster (even the front sight blade was from a swedish mauser!)- only part that could pass as original to the rifle would be the bolt stop. Photos for viewing pleasure - seems an original. I see in the photo reference there is 905X so I am going to copy those parts in my restoration for what goes on this one since it is only 30 rifles later. This did come with the scope base screws - I just took them off when I stripped the rifle down and didn't put them back for the photo. Also one nice thing is that it has a great bore with plenty of life in it. I don't plan on it being a daily shooter or anything but do like to have the option.
Only 2 real detractors from the barreled receiver - bubba widened the walls of the rear sight base for some reason. They're bent/flared out and a sight ramp sits funny in it. Second thing was that bubba evidently was just seconds away from drilling the rear receiver ring for a peep sight before he came to his senses. Has scratched markings for where the holes were gonna be drilled but thank heaven he stopped at that. Might touch them up with cold blue. Any advice on these two issues? Not sure how to get the rear sight base resolved - repair or replace?
Already have some of the small parts sourced but could use some help still. Need a stock, sight leaf (without a serial number), and bolt. I am fine with a standard bcd 4 stock and I will just have it inlet for the mount. The scope & mount are gonna be the last items I purchase but would appreciate any leads!
TIA
