Condition report:
The metal components retain a strong percentage of their original blued finish with some thinning on the high edges and light handling marks throughout. The receiver and barrel show scattered minor surface scratches and faint signs of oxidation on the barrel exterior. The ATI polymer stock is in good condition with minor scuffs and superficial scratches from handling. The bore was not inspected. The action appears to function correctly when cycled manually, though the rifle has not been function-tested or test-fired.
