Condition report:
The metal components retain a high percentage of their original polished blue finish, showing moderate wear consistent with age and field use, primarily exhibiting scattered handling marks and light scratches on the barrel and receiver flats. The wood furniture shows numerous minor scratches, dings, and finish wear, particularly on the buttstock, including minor residue or remnants of a sticker/tape visible on the right side. The action appears to function correctly when manually cycled. The bore is bright with no visible pitting. We have not function-tested this firearm with live ammunition. It is the buyer\'s responsibility to ensure compliance with all local, state, and federal firearms laws.
