restocked M-S 1903 carbine question
      19/01/15 03:43 PM

Ok, question for all you experts here on our favorite forum.
I have an opportunity to purchase a 1903 Mannlicher Schoenauer carbine, 6.5x54 caliber with good bluing with a very good bore and a single trigger but.....it has been restocked (well fitted), does not have the original butt plate and has a Williams side mounted scope mount properly attached.the receiver ring also has an empty dovetail cut for a claw mount but the mound plate is missing.
Im not looking for a collectors piece, if I get this rifle it will be used in the field. No safe queen or eye candy show piece.
I have only a bit of knowledge about these carbines and so I ask your advise.
Is it worth $800?
Sorry, I dont have a photo to share at this time.
