ed h,
Welcome to the Forum. Skeet nailed it when he asked if the "ears" for the rear sight were milled off. I bet they were in order to scope the rifle. How is the bore? Was the original 26-inch barrel cut back a few inches? It will cost quite a bit to restore the piece to original condition, despite the scope drill and tap operation. A decent stock and hardware will run about the asking price of $225.00.
There are P-17 rifles in military shape in the $350-$500 range hereabouts. Again, welcome to this site.
