    I'm not sure if a Santa Fe conversion can be returned to normal. From the limited pictures, she appears to be a good candidate for restoration. Find a fore stock, butt stock, 2 upper handguards, handguard ring, rear barrel band, front barrel band, an original magazine and a sight protector and you would be pretty close to original. You already have the nice adjustable rear sight which is a plus. Of course, she is beautiful as is!

    You can see the muzzle has been shortened by the length of the bayonet lugs.
