The blued finish remains largely intact with some thinning at the muzzle and high edges of the receiver. The wood stock is in good condition, exhibiting various handling marks, light scratches, and small dings consistent with its history as a training rifle. The bore was not inspected, but the exterior metal surfaces are well-maintained. The bolt action appears to function correctly and the trigger pull is crisp. The rear target sight adjustments operate smoothly. The detachable magazine shows some surface wear and minor spotty oxidation.
