Rating Definition:

Very fine, retaining 85% plus original back anodized and 70% plus original oxide finishes with spotting on the steel components, some light scrapes on the upper and lower receiver with some imperfections in the metal on the left side of the upper, and light handling marks. The furniture is also very fine with minor handling marks and what appears to be a name and service number scratched into the underside of the handguard. Mechanically excellent. The scope is very fine with clear optics.
