Rating Definition:

Very fine with 85% plus original blue finish with some muzzle and high point wear, magazine tube plug is fading to a smooth gray patina. There is some thinning on the underside of the receiver and some light spotting on the receiver as well. The wood is fine with numerous scratches in the varnish on the stock, and few minor dings and dents on the forearm and overall crisp checkering. The markings remain sharp and clear. The action is excellent.
