Condition report:
The metal surfaces retain a fair portion of their Parkerized finish with noticeable thinning, wear on high points, and areas of surface oxidation consistent with military field use. The walnut stock and handguards show significant handling marks, including dings, scratches, and impact marks throughout. The gas cylinder shows characteristic wear to its light grey finish. The action appears to function correctly when cycled manually, though we have not function-tested this firearm. The bore was not internally inspected.
