Picked this up some years back and need your help. I have a replacement front sight blade but bubba filed a section of the barrel in a crude dovetail to mount a rear sight like that of an 1894 winchester carbine. Havent hears of anyone doing this but thought about making up a piece of steel from an old 98 mauser barrel and fit it to the dovetail and have the whole thing tig welded. The barrel does have a nice bore but bubba chopped the buttstock and stuck on a rubber recoil pad. Which has turned to stone. Your thoughts and comments are appreciated. Frank
