If the inside of the bore is pitted, the only way to improve it is either reboring/re-rifling to a larger caliber, or rebarrel. An Adams & Bennett short chambered Mauser barrel and thread/chamber/crown will set you back about $200 or so. Or you can just shoot it as is and accept that it will never show stellar accuracy.

BTW, if you want an old military Mauser safety, just about any gunsmith will have a few of them in his toolbox.
