I wouldn't touch it for $200, 1899 receiver or not.

The barrel is totally screwed - no recovery possible. The stock has probably been ruined as well.

No 1899 Carbine is "rare", but you probably are going to have to pay upwards of $1000 for a complete one. If I guessed that the "one of 2000" is based on info from "Bowers LLC" would I be correct? That gentleman is perpetuating some bad info - he is quite ignorant, and has refused help.

Gunbroker has several 1899s right now. If you wish, I'll vet them for you - I suggest using email. I have no desire to acquire anything more in that line, so I will not bid against you.
