I have 3 of these and one at my SIL. Fantastically accurate, rugged and handy. Bit short on the pull for me but I don't really mind and that is fixable. Great job on the restoration!
FYI a Mossberg Plinker 10rd Mag will fit with a little attention with emery paper judiciously applied to edges allow a smooth entry. Load it, close the bolt, seat mag up against bolt firmly. It will feed all 10 rds no prob and the friction fit will hold the mag up hill and down Dale. Just don't bump it further up with the bolt open.
And it would not be hard to dowl and glue a nice bit of black wood or mahogany or somesuch to that fore end if you really wanted.
Good job!
Enjoy.
