Condition report:
The blued finish shows thinning, edge wear, and areas of light surface oxidation, particularly on the barrel and bolt assembly. The custom wood stock has several visible repairs with pins near the receiver and wrist, and a small crack is present on the left side. The bore was not inspected. The action appears to function correctly, though we have not function-tested this firearm. The checkered plastic buttplate and the canvas sling show wear consistent with use and age.
