Rating Definition:

Very good. The barrel has a mottled gray patina with a few areas of smooth brown patina. The action has a smooth dark patina. There is some minor flash type pitting. The brass has a smooth patina. The revarnished stock is good with numerous minor handing marks and a couple small chips missing, along with a couple long scratches and minor pressure dents. The checkering shows some wear. Lock functions fine. Snap bayonet has weak spring, but catch works fine.
