Fine as partially professionally refinished (barrel and magazine tube), the blue components retain 90% of the high quality finish with some cycling and high edge wear along with some minor flaking. There are scratches and dings underneath the finish on the barrel and some of the markings are faint. The casehardened components retain 25% of the original case colors with a mostly smooth gray patina on the balance. The bolt retains 95% of the original blue finish. The buttstock is fine with half of the original finish. The forearm is very good as lightly sanded and reoiled with scattered dings, scratches and a few minor chips are absent. Mechanically excellent.
