A friend of a friend has a deactivated (I'm not sure it's current condition, it was hinted that its just missing the firing pin). Maybe it's just me, but WWI LE's don't seem very common. The stock has been sporterized, that's as much as I know thusfar, I'll be finding out more tonight. As long as it hasn't been drilled, welded, barrel cut, is it worth looking into restoring it if the price is right?

Not really as you can go buy a fullwood rifle for the same price if not less that it would be to restore that one and WWI LE are pretty common, especially sporterized.
Well,..it is alot of fun searching for and getting the parts to rebuild a old chopped up warhorse...if she just needs a firing pin,and the bbl is not cut,...have at it!Parts are getting hard to find,but they are out there...
