Very fine as arsenal refurbished, retaining most of the finish with scattered dried grease/arsenal preservative, some light spotting focused on the buttplate and sling swivel, mild cycling wear, and minor handling marks. The stock is also very fine as arsenal sanded and re-oiled with scattered minor compression marks and mostly clear stamps. Mechanically excellent. The bayonet is very good as sharpened with a loose cross guard.
