Condition report:
The metal surfaces retain a strong amount of original bluing, though the receiver and barrel show scattered light surface oxidation and minor rust spotting. The barrel exhibits visible finish wear and thinning near the muzzle. The stainless steel bolt handle shows some darkening and light oxidation. The synthetic stock is in good structural condition but displays numerous scuffs, scratches, and handling marks consistent with field use. The bore is bright with strong, well-defined rifling. The bolt action appears to function smoothly, and the trigger and safety mechanisms are responsive, though the rifle has not been function-tested with live ammunition.
