Very fine as arsenal refurbished and subsequently refinished/reconfigured, retaining most of the finishes with mild cycling wear/silvering on the bolt, some minor specks of freckling, and minor handling wear. The replacement reproduction stock is very fine with some mild oxidation on the buttplate, light spotting on the butt frame, and attractive "tiger striped" wood grain. Mechanically excellent.
