Very fine as Arsenal refurbished. The rifle retains 90% original blue finish with the breechblock and upper tang retaining 80% of the originalcase colors. Markings have been restamped. The middle barrel band is a reblued replacement. The stock is very fine with crisp cartouche and a series of minor dents present on the forearm (right side) and some minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
