Condition report:
The shotgun shows moderate cosmetic wear consistent with field use. The matte black finish on the barrel and receiver displays several visible scratches and scuffs, particularly on the left side of the receiver and the forward portion of the barrel. The synthetic stock and pistol grip are in good condition with minor handling marks, though the rubber recoil pad shows significant dust and surface wear. The bore is bright with no visible signs of pitting or corrosion. The action appears to function correctly when cycled by hand, though the firearm has not been test-fired.
