Not much collector value for a 1942 Izzy M38, listed as a "2" on the rarity scale...

Do what you want with it.
I've built a long range 91/30 sporter, fun project but quite a bit of work.
If you want a shooter, cut and re-crown the barrel behind the counterbore.
Glass bed it into a Boyd's stock, give it a Timney trigger, Rock Solid optics mount or a JMeck if you don't want to d&t, and make or buy your bent bolt..and have fun.
