Rating Definition:

Fine. 90% reblue finish remains on the barrels with numerous small dings, pock marks, sharp markings, and some muzzle wear. The receiver has 75% original case colors with some light edge wear, sharp engraving, and some spotting on the trigger guard. The bullet trap has been recolored. The wood is also fine. The buttstock has been lightly sanded and oiled with well defined checkering, some small gaps around the joints, and small dings throughout. Mechanically excellent.
