Rating Definition:

Very fine. The carbine retains approximately 90% of the arsenal finish with some rust on the muzzle and some light spotting along the barrel at the forearm. The trigger guard and lever have a grayish mottled patina with some light pitting on the lever. The wood is very good with a hand rubbed finish on the forearm and overall scattered minor dents and dings. The markings are crisp. The mechanics are excellent.
