Hello , this is all I have 1918 , 1920 , barrel, receiver, rear sight match , has a non matching imperial trigger guard and floor plate, and a nazi bolt , the barrel is 0.2 mint bore , what would this be worth as a mix of parts , try to find a sanded stock and make a shooter , or trade it . Like to see what you would do if you owned it. Here's a couple pictures, has no import marks and barrel is roughly 24 inches. 20250106_092224.jpg20250123_132953.jpg20250123_133018.jpg
 
More pictures would help, though this pattern long ago was solved by CB and Joe Steen 2008-09; Spandau cut G98 production loose in early 1917 to concentrate on MG production; receivers left in the pipeline (none Spandau made, but subcontracted from Peiper-S&H were increasing diverted to others, among which included the G98 king - DZ or Danzig - the right receiver, if you show it will reveal Danzigs acceptance pattern. Obviously this rifle passed through Spain's nasty war between conservatism (nationalist factions, with some bad guys) and far left, ( and separatists groups, Liberals and increasing dominated by Red communists)

Anyway you do not show enough to be very specific beyond a general outline of the variant (DZ context and barrel implications); more could be said if serial & right receiver were shown, specifically where it falls in general production prior to the 1918 & SCW.
 
The plus side it has a mint bore , I really don't need another project , what would be a cheap option for a stock, something that's been repaired or refurbished, sanded, idk maybe trade

How correct are you looking for? There's collector correct, and then there's "screw it, let's go bowling shooting" correct where it's basically military looking and the action fits.
