Rating Definition:

Very good as partially refurbished, with 85% of the current blue finish on the barrels, showing areas of light brown and gray patina, scratches along the underside and scattered handling marks. The frame shows a smooth satin gray color overall, with bright color remaining in the protected areas. Stock is very good, with cracking and chipping of the buttplate, light cracks at the wrist, and minor pressure dents overall. Rifle trigger doews not function, shotgun components are very good.
