LOL. So far I’m up to $60 for the new stock and $30 for the bipod.
I think I’m really going to have to stretch to hit $500. I’ve priced a good rail set that goes on the rear sight at about $50. A good LER scope will run about $100. I don’t have to change the bolt if I stick with that configuration. I may have the barrel polished versus going with bed-liner paint like that listing had.
Spend the $$ on the scope and mount. That is where “you get what you pay for”. I looked at putting a scope and mount on a non collectible Mauser I had, but it was much more than the rifle was worth. Especially if I put a repro WW2 scope and mount on it. Originals were way out of my price range.
