Congrats! Nice pickup, Chance. $600 + a K6? Yeah, man.
I wouldn't be bummed about the jeweling. If it's a shooter, then so what. If the action works smoothly, and feeds and ejects properly, who cares.
And I wouldn't be too worried about the pad, either. Many of that era are going to be found with pads. If the LOP is around 13.5", I wouldn't let that deter me.
Hope it shoots great for you!
