Very ###y Gordon! She is an identical twin to mine almost! I would laugh if the serial numbers are only 1 apart! If you want, PM and just for fun we'll check that out. Perhaps they are twins, born of the same Mauser womb!
Have you tried shooting with that crazy sun shade on? I took mine off, for fear of losing an eye. I wasnt brave enough to put that cup to my eye and pull the trigger, I had images of wearing an eye patch for the rest of my days, walking around with a parrot, frequently saying yaaar, yaaar me matey..........yaaar......
What did your smith do to make the rear base fit? Mine shaved underneath to make it slide up on the saddle.........everyone else wanted to hack it shorter and re-drill it.
And if you need the bolt handle bent........maybe consider sending it to bits of pieces over the winter when you cant shoot much either.
