Condition report:
The rifle is in very good overall condition. The blued finish on the receiver and barrel is well-preserved with only minor thinning at the muzzle and high points. The polished bolt carrier remains bright. The wood stock is in very good condition with an attractive reddish-orange hue, showing only a few minor handling marks and impressions. The bore is not visible but the external condition suggests it has been well-maintained. The action appears to function correctly, though we have not function-tested this firearm.
