Hi folks, I'm helping a friend with his 30 WCF carbine and had a few questions. Let me start by saying, 'Yes, this sweet old girl was re-blued at some point.'
He asked for help repairing her but I'm concerned that the carbine is actually somewhat special, everything is original I believe, and don't want to add to the re-bluing mistake.
He's interested in putting her back into something of her former glory by replacing some of her missing accessories. She's a solid shooter and his intention is to keep hunting with her as he has most of his life.
I really appreciate any thoughts y'all can offer.
Thanks in advance for you help!

- The rear band screw hole is stripped. Is it possible to put a little steel-capable solder in the hole, and tap it to let the screw get a grip?
- Are these 4 holes (3 filled, one w/screw) used to mount a scope? Was there a factory scope mount option or were they all after market?
- I just want to confirm that this is the saddle ring screw hole.
- Is this small hole in the upper tang for a peep sight? If so, were there factory-installed peeps?
Thanks in advance for you help!
