Key markings include the serial number 128999 stamped on the rear surface of the frame beneath the hammer. The assembly consists of the receiver, hammer, and trigger group, but is missing the barrel, stock, and forend. Black adhesive tape is present on the rear of the frame. This item is considered a firearm receiver and is subject to applicable regulations. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The frame retains a significant portion of its original blued finish, showing areas of thinning and surface wear. Visible scratches and small dings are present across the flats of the receiver. Minor surface oxidation and freckling are noted on the trigger guard and hammer. The internal action appears to function mechanically, though it has not been live-fire tested. The black adhesive tape on the rear of the frame should be removed with care to avoid finish damage. No barrel or furniture is included with this frame.
