Condition report:

The barrel retains a high percentage of its original blued finish with light surface freckling and minor oxidation present. The receiver\'s black anodized finish is largely intact with minor handling marks and superficial scratches. The walnut furniture shows significant wear to the gloss finish, particularly on the forend, with numerous scratches, scuffs, and small dings throughout. There is a notable wood chip at the bottom toe of the buttstock near the spacers. The bore is bright with no visible pitting. The action appears to function smoothly when cycled by hand.
