Fine with 70% of the original blue finish, showing some light handling marks and areas of brown patina overall. A heavier, rougher brown is present on the trigger guard and buttplate, with the buttplate heel showing heavy pitting. The stock is also fine, with a long dent on the right side of the buttstock and scattered mild dings. Mechanically excellent. The sling is separated near buttstock.
