Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The pistol is in excellent, near-new condition, appearing to retain 99% or more of its original high-polish blued finish with only the faintest handling marks. The straw-colored components remain bright and vibrant. The checkered walnut grips are sharp with no notable dings or compressed checkering. The bore is bright with sharp, well-defined rifling. The action appears to function correctly through manual cycling. The factory box is in very good condition, showing light shelf wear and minor scuffing at the corners, with the original end label present and matching the firearm.
