I have an argentenian 1909 mauser that has been semi sporterized(30-06). It is numbers matching other than the sporter style stock which is very nice. The only concerning issue is the condition of the bore. I guess this rifle was in a storage unit in an old gun case for a while. The bore has alot of surface rust yet the grooves look to be fairly deep. I would really like this rifle to be a shooter but im not looking to dump money into it. Is it even recommended that i shoot 30-06 in this rifle since the bore is a little bigger than 30cal? What is it going to take to make it usable and safe?
