Condition report:
The representative firearm exhibits moderate to heavy use consistent with field or duty service. The matte black finish shows significant finish loss, numerous surface scratches, and scuff marks, particularly on the receiver flats. There are scattered patches of light surface oxidation or rust visible, notably on the magazine tube and the visible bolt assembly. The polymer grips show wear and handling marks but appear structurally sound. The bore condition is unknown as we cannot visually inspect it. The pump action appears to function correctly, cycling the bolt when operated manually. 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.
