Condition report:
The firearm system is in very good overall condition with the receiver and barrels retaining approximately 95 percent or more of their original high polish blued finish showing only minor handling marks and light edge wear. The walnut stock and forends are in very good condition with sharp checkering and a few scattered light dings or compressions in the wood. The bores on the various barrels are bright with crisp rifling, and the shotgun bore is smooth and clean. The break action functions smoothly and locks up tight. The included scopes show clear optics with intact reticles, though they exhibit minor external surface wear from mounting and use. The original factory box is intact but shows moderate shelf wear and some edge fraying.
