Very good. Partially refinished (magazine tube, action bar and buttstock), the barrel and receiver retain half of the original blue finish with a smooth brown patina on the balance. There are some scattered patches of minor pitting and some small areas of oxidation. The magazine tube and action bar retain 85% of the high quality blue finish with cycling wear. The forearm is very good and the buttstock is fair as heavily sanded with scattered dings and scratches. An attractive example that could have been engraved by Conrad Ulrich Junior!
