Condition report:
The blued finish on the barrel shows scattered surface wear, light scratches, and areas of thinning, particularly near the muzzle and contact points. The black finish on the receiver remains largely intact with some minor high-edge wear. The bore was not inspected. The checkered wood stock displays visible signs of use including several scratches, compression marks, and significant areas of finish loss on the right side of the buttstock. The plastic buttplate shows some surface scuffing but remains secure. The action appears to function correctly, though it has not been live-fire tested.
