Further barrel markings include a circled REP proof mark, a downward-pointing arrow, and the date code M W B R.

Condition report:

The barrel and iron sights show scattered surface oxidation and light pitting throughout. The polymer receiver, stock, and forend exhibit light scuffs, handling marks, and minor dirt accumulation in recessed areas. Oxidation is also visible on the receiver screws and the charging handle. The bore is bright with strong rifling. The action appears to function normally when manually cycled, though the firearm is missing its magazine.
