Chamber
If you can take a chamber casting do so. If nothing else please get the headspace checked. This rifle has had an eventful history, going through who knows how many hands and suffering many indignities. It may be rechambered, or rebarrelled by incompetents If in original 7mm and correctly headspaced with a decent bore it will make an OK hunting gun. I advise against restoration, it won't be worth it as the guns are very common.
