I recently picked up an 1895 Chilean Mauser Carbine for a song. Bubba has had his way with it and I was wondering if it would be worth bringing it back to at least it's military configuration. Let me start with what was done to it.
1. Stock forend was cut to the rear band.
2. Rear sight and sleeve was removed.
3. Butt plate was removed and a cheesy recoil pad was added.
Other than that it's pretty complete. All numbers match to include the bent bolt.
Is it worth fooling with or would I be better served using the reciever to build a sporter? Thanks for the opinions in advance.
