Condition report:
The metal surfaces, including the receiver and barrel, exhibit a brown patina with extensive thinning to the blued finish and widely scattered surface oxidation and pitting. The polished steel bolt shows some operational wear. The checkered walnut furniture is in good condition, retaining much of its glossy finish with scattered minor handling marks and superficial scratches. The action appears to function correctly, though it has not been live-fire tested. The bore was not inspected.
