Fine, retains 70% original parkerized finish with some light thinning on the barrel and scattered areas of brown patina, some light cycling wear, and sharp markings in the metal. 60% thinning original blue finish remains on the bolt with scattered moderate freckling. 97% original blue finish remains on the magazine with a small patch of mild corrosion on the front. Stock is also fine as lightly sanded and re-oiled with oversized buttplate, some light scratches and dents, a thin gouge on the left of the forend, and a mild pressure dent on the left of the buttstock. Mechanically excellent.
