Condition Report

Very Good. Bore has a layer of Cosmoline throughout that should clean to Minty with sharp rifling. Internals retain a thick layer of preservative Cosmoline with external metal finish displaying some light muzzle wear, few scratches to the barrel, and a disassembly scratch on the dustcover. Stock shows cosmoline in the seams with few light handling dents overall, and a chip on the upper right edge below the takedown lever.
