Very fine, with 85% of the bright original blue finish, showing patches of brown and gray patina concentrated on the right side of the receiver, tool marks on the heat shield screws, mild cycling wear and scattered handling marks. The stock is excellent, with light dings and scuffs. Mechanically excellent. The bayonet is fine as arsenal refurbished, missing the scabbard.
