Condition report:

The overall metal finish is matte black/blued, retaining approximately 95% of the finish. There are minor handling marks and small surface discoloration spots visible primarily on the receiver, consistent with light use. The bore appears bright and clean with a cylinder choke. The synthetic furniture, including the ATI adjustable stock assembly, is in very good condition, showing minor scuffs typical of handling. The action appears to function correctly, cycling smoothly 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.
