Very fine as partially refinished (stock), showing 97% of the original blue, with mild spotting on the bolt, bright edge wear and scattered handling marks. The takedown catch is numbered "266". Stock is fine as revarnished with a thin crack on the underside of the forearm just ahead of the trigger guard and mild dents. Mechanically excellent.
