Rating Definition:

Good as partially refinished, the barrels, which retain 95% blue finish with some minor muzzle and high point wear, a few minor dings and some very minor pitting visible under the finish as well as some minor scattered spotting. The remaining metal surfaces have a smooth gray patina. The wood is also good with some finish loss on the left rear of the stock, and overall scattered minor dents, dings and scratches. Most of the checkering on the stock wrist is crisp and there is some moderate to heavy wear on the forearm checkering. The engraving is crisp and clear. The set trigger does not function properly and the action locks up tight.
