Ross project, advice sought.

[NORTHOF60]

I would only be concerned with the rifle as a shooter if any of the following are marked DP: bolt, receiver, barrel.

The "original" stocked rifle appears to be an Indian/Pakistani drill purpose rifle with the barrel drilled and welded at the chamber, and you intend to drop in a complete replacement action and barrel, so you should be O.K. Personally, I'd remove the paint. I like your idea of leaving the documented restoration in the stock.

Good luck on your project.
