Exceptionally fine as arsenal refurbished, retaining most all of the finish with some minor handling marks under the finish, light cycling wear, dried grease, some limited minor edge wear, and a few minor handling marks. The stock is excellent with a few minor handling marks and attractive raised, oiled grain. Mechanically excellent.
