1937 S/42 Drilled barrel ... why?

So thanks to everyone for the input! As I see it, it isn't much of a collectible as is, and I would not get rid of it anyway, so I think assuming the rest of the gun is OK I think a new barrel would probably be the way to go.

That said, I know in situations like these that there isn't always just one correct answer so I do appreciate everyone's thoughts. Step one I guess will be getting and installing the missing parts and then getting it checked-out and possibly a new barrel. Thanks again.

Chris
