Condition report:
The receiver finish is heavily worn, exhibiting a gray patina consistent with being largely \"in-the-white\" or having lost nearly all original bluing, showing handling marks and scuffs. The barrel retains a dark, mottled finish with significant bluing loss and scattered areas of surface oxidation. The Poly Choke device is in good mechanical condition with clear markings. The bore appears generally bright but has not been inspected professionally. The buttstock and rounded forearm are constructed of reddish-brown wood with a glossy varnish, showing superficial scratches, minor dings, and finish wear typical of a used sporting arm. The buttstock is fitted with a modern rubber Remington branded butt plate. The action appears to function correctly when cycled manually, but 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.
