All - I haven't quite nailed it down, but I'll either sell or swap this for a carbine starter, or rebuild it as the rifle it was.  The barrel won't be cut.  Replacing the fore-end, adding a hand gaurd, and then extending the butt stock (toughest task) to original length will go a long way.

I've yet to see the bore.  That will most likely be the deciding factor if I restore it or pass it along.

Whig, I'll PM you shortly.
