Just bought Mauser, bore is shit. Restore, keep as-is, or sporterize? Leaning restore.
It's not a German weapon. It's Israeli, and it has quite a bit of pitting inside the barrel. Not at all shiny, and the grooves and valleys aren't as defined. I am heavily leaning restore specifically because it's so cheap to do. Israeli barrels go for $90USD.
The thing is, should I re-finish the weapon and stock?
That's actually what I'm heavily leaning on. I really want to shoot it, and I just can't if it's going to suck ass. At least if I restore it, it will shoot and look the part as well. Definitely gonna restore it now.
