Rating Definition:

Very good as partially refinished (barrels). The barrels have 90% blue finish remaining with some areas of mild thinning and a few small dings. The receiver has 60% original case colors with the balance a smooth silver gray patina. Displaying some small scratches overall. The wood is very good with scattered small dings, well defined checkering, and good metal to wood fit. Mechanically excellent.
