Condition report:
The rifle is in well-used condition, showing significant wear across all components. The black metal finish exhibits widespread scratches, dings, and finish loss, with visible areas of surface oxidation. The plastic stock and foregrip show numerous surface scratches and general wear from use, though they remain structurally sound without visible cracks. The pump action appears to function correctly, though we have not function-tested the firearm for velocity or air seal. The bore was not inspected.
