I need help!!!

My father started a 300 win mag project but passed away before finishing it. So I have a receiver and barrel and I have no idea what brand the receiver is. Can anyone give me advice on finding out what this receiver is so I can finish this project?
 
Maybe like I said I’m have no idea. I did do some research and I did find the interarms markx but wasn’t sure.
 
I believe Interarms was just an importer. Google indicates that the Mark X is the name they gave to their Zastava M70 Mauser imports.
 
I'm pretty sure Timney makes a trigger for that. Look at their web sight or talk to customer service. You can get a nice stock from Boyds stocks. Very important to measure distance between action bolt holes to make sure you are getting the right stock. Using the info on action bolt hole spacing, either google for mauser parts, or try ebay for the bottom metal. Be sure to get magazine box and follower. The bottom metal will come at all levels of shop worn. Shop wisely. Let me know spacing, I might have bottom metal for you.
 
Good advice from VaRandy, especially on the muzzle brake. Do you plan to use this rifle or just bring it up to a level to sell?
 
If you expect this to feed .300 Win. cartridges, a military Mauser '98 mag box won't be long enough on the inside. You will need "commercial" bottom metal that is 3.400" on the inside. "Custom" bottom metal is available, but can be 'pricey' for some. Sometimes you will find Mark X bottom metal on the gun auction sites. Usually sells in the neighborhood of a $100 bill or so. And, the Mark X is a 'controlled round feed' action, with a Mauser type claw extractor, so it will need to feed from the magazine.
 
Sarco currently has aluminum 98 Mauser triggerguard castings that only need minor work and finishing to be of value to your build . They are about $20 . That price includes a spring and follower
