Condition report:
The metal surfaces show varying degrees of wear, with the barrel and magazine tube retaining a fair amount of original bluing despite some thinning and light scratches. The receiver exhibits significant finish loss and flaking throughout. The walnut furniture is in good structural condition with various small nicks, dings, and surface scratches consistent with field use. The action appears to function correctly. The bore was not inspected. The aftermarket recoil pad remains intact with some light checking to the rubber.
