The barrels retain nearly all of the reblued finish, some scattered corrosion pock marks visible beneath the finish to the underside around the muzzles of each tube, rifle chokes crisp. The rib has clear engraved matting and signature, the rear sight leaves move very easily in their hinges, and some debris can be heard moving inside the rib. Action retains nearly all of the faded casehardened finish with clear engraving. The toplever, trigger guard, and safety catch each retain nearly all of their reblued finishes. The stock has some minor storage and handling blemishes with well-defined checkering and some chipping and poor fitment on the edges. Mechanically excellent.
