Excellent, 95% of the original blue finish remains on the barrels with high edge and takedown wear along with some scattered minor scratches and dings. The barrels have been threaded for choke tubes at a later date. The French gray components retain 98% of their original finish with some handling wear and scattered minor scratches. The wood is very good with a small hairline crack on the left side of the forearm, some scattered minor scratches and dings and a recoil pad added. Mechanically excellent. The case is very good.
