Fine. 40% original blue finish remains with areas of high point and edge wear, attractive visible Damascus patterning on the barrel, surface scratches, clear markings, and cycling wear on the action bar and magazine tube. The wood is also fine with scattered pressure dents, small dings, shallow gouges, and handling wear in the areas associated with normal usage. Mechanically excellent.
