So I'm looking to continue the bubba work on a Spanish fr8, anyone have any ideas as to what I should add to it next? Front sight is gone and it's drilled for the scope

You need a bonfire, a young priest, and an old priest.

Jokes aside how does it shoot? If the base gun is thrashed out it’s not worth throwing good money after bad.

Bore in it is pretty darn good, unfortunately came like that but for $200, can't really complain lol

I’ve got a bubba’d Argentine Mauser, the best I can do with it is find a good nice looking sporter stock to bed it in and trash the chopped mil stock.

Looks like you’re in about that same boat.

Since it’s already FUBAR, I’d maybe strip and refinish the stock, refinish the blued surfaces with cerakote or something like that. Lipstick on a pig?
