How deep are the rifling grooves?  I have had a couple of early smokeless era Austrian & Czech rifles with grooves so deep that cast bullets are useless.

Removing the Weaver bases, and having the custom bases cut for a clamp style quality ring might be a simple fix that would clean it up. I doubt an old European claw mount would be an easy fit, but some lower. cleaner bases, would change it for the better. Especially if a nice old European scope could be located too.

The bore slugges .325/.326, the rifling does not appear overly deep

Holy Crap!  I thought it was a cool rifle and then I saw how it takes down!  I never suspected that from the picture of the assembled rifle.   
I too am "green with envy".  What a pleasure cleaning up the scope/mount system and getting this one back right and shooting would be.  Congrats and thanks for sharing.
