Condition report:
The barrel retains a high degree of its original blued finish with some light surface scratches and minor handling marks. The case-hardened receiver shows vibrant color patterns with minimal wear. The wood stock and forend are in good condition with scattered dings and scratches consistent with use, though the wood remains structurally sound. The orange rubber recoil pad is significantly deteriorated with extensive cracking and hardening throughout. The bore is bright and clean, and the action appears to function correctly.
