Rod,
I don't have much experience with Mausers. I have one that was built by a board member here, Big Ed. If he's on here today maybe he can jump in and help out. As far as bead blasting the interior of the receiver I would think the main concern would be the receiver threads. For the trigger pin you might try some penetrating oil.
