Rating Definition:

Excellent. 95% plus original blue finish remains with some light forearm marks and surface scratches on the barrels, light handling marks on the receiver. Extra barrel set is also excellent with some light forearm marks. The wood is very good with added recoil pad, 95% original high gloss finish, crisp checkering, and small dings and dents on the buttstock. Mechanically excellent. Case is good with dings and scuffs on the exterior, and mild staining on the interior.
