Looks good mate.
Far from its adopted home, now all you need are an original sling and the rare (repeat RARE!!) bayonet.

Plus some cases, a mold and a set of dies. Those might cost as much as the rifle

First job is a clean. Second job, slug the barrel. I have been in touch with Dave Commens at CBE down there and a single mold is going to cost me about €82 - $A 120 so I suppose that's not too bad.

It looks like somebody has interfered with it big style Duncan, I'm no armourer but it doesn't look very fixable to me.
Here's mine for comparison......

Looks like it can be sorted, plenty of advice on the British Militaria Forum.
1/ Pull the barrel
2/ Clean it up with a Reamer (if I can find one in 32/20 Win. Brownells France do one for £177!) or try the Dremmel and very light file work...............

Duncan don't use the dremmel. Screw the barrel off you will need to make some sort of barrel vice to hold every thing in place. Chances are the barrel will be fine. The faces of the chamber bit could probably be sorted on a milling machine.

Right you are Dave.
My plan is Pull Barrel and then make some decisions
![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
I do not have access to any machinery unfortunately so whatever the solution is going to be it is going to be by hand.
