Fine. The rifle retains 50% plus bright original blue finish overall, mostly concentrated on the receiver, with minor surface oxidation visible on the barrel and magazine tube. There is also some scattered minor oxidation on the receiver and dust cover. The wood is also good with some scattered minor dents and scratches. The markings are clearly legible. Mechanically excellent.
