swiss rifle help needed

Hi all, my brother-in-law and I found a swiss schmitt-rubin sportierized 1896/11 rifle in our father-in-laws attic. My brother in law has taken the time to ID it via the web and has gotten some good help and advice on swissrifles.com, a couple of questions though.

1) The rifle looks as if it was rechambered perhaps for .308 according to some people but we cant be sure. Does anyone here know someplace where we might be able to send this rifle to to have it inspected? Someone whos pretty good about restoring swiss guns?

2) When they rechambered it they really messed up the stock cosmetically. Where would be a good place to start looking or talking to about maybe getting a new stock rebuilt to replace the damaged one?

If anyone has any suggestions or any help at all please feel free because we are completely stumped as where to go next to get this thing restored.
