Blue barrel, frame, and full length magazine, with casehardened remaining parts, and mounted with a smooth walnut forearm with casehardened forend cap and straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate.

Fine as refinished. The rifle retains 97% plus of the refinished blue with some minor handling/storage marks. The casehardened components retain 97% of the vivid case colors. The markings are sharp. The wood is also fine as refinished with only a few minor scratches and dings. Mechanically excellent.
