Condition report:
The carbine retains a high percentage of its original blued finish with light thinning on the muzzle and high edges of the receiver. The bolt assembly remains bright with minimal signs of oxidation. The wood stock is in very good condition, exhibiting minor dings and handling marks consistent with its age and military service. The bore is bright with strong, distinct rifling. The bolt-action appears to function smoothly, and the safety operates as intended, though the firearm has not been function-tested with live ammunition. All visible serial numbers are matching.
