I am doing it because I want to do the gunsmith work and to make a nice "brush" gun for boar hunting.
The reason I brought it up was to help make the decision to either sell this one and buy a receiver group, or just use this one for my project.
I want to use an 8mm Mauser for my project, but don't want to destroy one that has value. One thing about this gun is that the bore is very pitted.
It came with a somewhat sporterized stock and no rear sight. I paid $30 for it at Woolwort's back in 1971.
Oh, thanks for the welcome aboard.
Can it still take a bayonet? That's be a useful feature for a hog hunting rifle.
