Condition report:
The shotgun is in good used condition. The blued finish on the barrel is well-retained with only minor handling marks, and the bore is bright. The anodized receiver finish shows some light edge wear and thinning at the high points. The action appears to function correctly, though we have not function-tested this firearm. The wood furniture shows numerous visible surface scratches, dings, and compression marks throughout the glossy finish from field use. The recoil pad is intact with typical signs of wear.
