Condition report:
Overall good condition, consistent with moderate field use. The blued finish on the barrel shows approximately 80% retention, with noticeable scuff marks, light scratches, and areas of minor finish loss, particularly near the muzzle and forend. The case-hardened finish on the receiver remains vibrant and attractive, showing strong color. The bore appears bright and smooth. The wooden furniture shows minor handling dents, scuffs, and light scratches but is free of major cracks or repairs. The action appears to function correctly, locking up tightly when closed, and the external hammer operates smoothly. 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.
