I'm late to the party but since no one else has offered any opinions here are my thoughts.
First, I assume you mean 7mm Remington Magnum. Don't fool with trying to build one from a 98 Mauser...
Without knowing exactly what you are looking for (excellent original collectable, looks like new re-build shooter, beater shooter) i can't add much to Vintage Hunters advise. I will add however that...
He is trying to use pics from another site. I pulled up the "properties" of the first one and it isn't a jpg or other format address. I got this.......

Tres bon !!! Merci, mon ami.

Aperature thread size is pretty much standard. Brownells has them.

Leupold base won't work with current hole spacing on front reciever ring. The rear hole on the front ring is drilled into the locking lug. Leupold base puts the rear hole in front ring ahead of...
It's been a few years since I was there, but I believe the rifle is there and on display. It was during the "100 Years of the M1903" exhibit, so they could have removed it for another display theme....
Here is info in posting pics. Can be found in the list of "stickies" on the main forum page.
How do I show pics from Photobucket, Flickr, ImageShack etc. on milsurps.com?
Welcome,

He did that again just a few years ago. I can tell from the pic that it is 20 years old. Had to look hard to recognize him. Pics of me 20 yrs. old and I don't know who I am either !! Currently he is...
Nice rifle, thanks for showing us. The meaning of the "A" on your barrel is un-known. On earlier rifles before WWI, the "A" meant that the barrel was found "acceptable" during a re-build.
HTH,

The single "B" on the wrist is probably the original inspector mark for the RI stock. The "SA SPG" and the two proof "P's" are indicative of re-building.
FWIW,

arkshooter,
Your rifle is way too late for a grasping groove stock. The rifle appears to have been re-finished and a replacement stock could have happened at that time. Rifles in your serial...
That's a puzzler for sure. Is it a straight handle or a swept handle? Can you show pics of the markings?
Too bad about your local show. I was at a show 2 weeks ago and saw a RC mauser, I don't remember the manufacture, but it was a very nice rifle. Re-built and re-blued as stated earlier, but most of...
To expand on what Chuck said, it IS bolt setback, but may not be from firing. Manual of Arms is a procedure gone through by a military personel during inspection. The procedure was to slam the bolt...
Anyone knowledgable about firearms and claiming to be a collector would not have an RG10 .22 revolver in his "collection". He would have to also know that the H&R shotgun that had been sawed off...
Pete,
Not sure what you mean by "merge with the triangle". If do you mean drilling one out would put the peep closer to it, not by much. The center would be the same, only a larger aperature. I...
The front reciever hasn't been cut. It was made that way. I just stocked a '95 Chilian mauser that had the same projection. It served as a retainer for the rear of the handguard. Similar to the rings...
You remembered correctly Rick. There are 3 biscuits on the ( replacement [swapped], but still Remington ) "Lend/Lease" handguard on that rifle. As stated, the Brits could be "thrifty" at times.
I'd pull the trigger anyday on a LN 1903 before I did so on this thing. I think I'll remove the bolt, a couple of other bits and pieces and saw up the rest. I was pretty much headed down that road in...
Just click on the photo to open it. Hover your cursor over the pic to get the tool bar. See the square box with the arrow pointing up to the right ? Click on that icon for full size. You'll see it...
It is marked simply 7mm. Can these be converted to rimless? Maybe 7x57MM ? Or 7x57R ??

I haven't and that's why I ask. Is it an Enfield that has been ground off and commercially sporterized? Or is it a Kybar Pass special made with a forge, hammers, and files ?? No other markings but...
The black paint I mentioned was applied at time of manufacture. It was applied over the parkerized metal only on the areas I mentioned. From what I can see in your pics, your rifle appears to me to...
