Rating Definition:

Excellent with 95% of the original wartime combination phosphate/blue finish with edge and high spot wear overall. The stock and handguard are both in excellent condition with a nice dark stock finish overall showing minor pressure dents on sides and rear underside forend area of the stock. The trapdoor in the buttplate is loose. Mechanically excellent. The scope retains 95% of the blued finish overall and the optics are heavily occluded and need cleaning.
