Most of the information you need to identify is in the pics. I am not an Imperial mauser guy but it looks to be a Gewehr 98 produced at the Danzig arsenal in 1916. Looks to have been rearsenalled at least once with all the lined out serials on the bolt. Like you said, bubba gave it the what for with the cut down barrel and stock. It should look like this:

Both Steve1973 and you are right.....

Unfortunately, it's a bubba'd Gew98 and it should look like the "all correct" 1916 Gewehr 98 Rifle (click here) http://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=73, shown in the Germany - Milsurp Knowledge Library (click here) http://www.milsurps.com/forumdisplay.php?f=15

The parts on eBay would sell for more than the rifle in the current state. If it was to be restored using the MKL entry as a guide, it would be more valuable.
