Someone with experience with added peeps needs to chime in with some suggestions about yours.

I wish I knew what happened to the metal of your rifle. The inside of the receiver looks quite odd almost like it has had some sort of surface grinding or metallurgical alteration with excessive heat or chemical exposure.

The mystery deepens.....
