Condition report:
The rifle is in good military surplus condition. The Parkerized finish shows moderate wear and thinning, particularly on the gas cylinder, muzzle, and operating rod, with scattered light surface oxidation. The walnut stock displays numerous dings, scratches, and darkened areas from handling and service use, but no major cracks are visually evident. The action appears to function correctly when cycled manually, though we have not function-tested this firearm.
