    Be sure it is not stamped DP on the receiver or bolt. A rather rusty Winchester. Measure the barrel and be sure its intact . A stock may cost $250 or so. Winchester will be a had find.
    Also prior to any shooting try a FIELD gauge to see if it closes down on it. Also with the bolt matching it is a good possibility it will still headspace. Run an oversize brass brush down the barrel a few times say 30, that barrel does not look so bad, the outside is nasty.

    Good luck with that, yes wood is nearly impossible to get and shipping stuff across the border is just about as bad now. The small parts will be even harder as you need bands and screws. The bore looks strong but probably never shine again. You should be able to do decent groups with factory and off a sandbag at 100m. Depends how your eyes are. Yes, the barrel is complete, it still has original sights mounted.
