Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The shotgun is in good overall condition. The blued finish on the barrels remains largely intact with some thinning and minor surface wear. The bright-finished receiver shows clean engraving with some light handling marks and oxidation typical of age. The walnut furniture retains a high-gloss finish with scattered light scratches and small dings, notably on the left side of the buttstock. The checkering remains well-defined. The recoil pad shows typical texturing wear but is intact. The bores are bright and the action appears to function correctly, though we have not function-tested this firearm.
