Another idea would be to make it a very short carbine. As for the rust, if it is all below the woodline you could just have the thing reblued and cal it good.
As the special order barrel is a full 71 cm = 28" long, it would not be a "very short carbine", even if the muzzle is cut back several inches. But I would like to keep the rare original length and the integral front sight base.
You are right, almost all the pitting disappears below the wood. Rebluing it again (was done post-WW2) is unnecessary.
