Very fine with 95% of a restored/reparkerized finish overall with edge and high spot wear, showing minor light pitting on the sides of the receiver. The stock as noted is restored and remains very good with minimal handling marks with and a dark brown color overall. A very nice looking WWII M1 carbine fitted with a nicely restored M1A1 stock would go great in any WWII or M1 Carbine collection.
