Very good as custom built. The barrel has a smooth brown patina. The receiver remains bright. The scope is slightly bent downward from the front mount forward. It is very difficult to see anything through the scope. The eye piece is ill-fitting. The action needs work as it does not function properly and the percussion nipple is absent. The stock is good with a large chip repair on top of the wrist, a small nick on top of the comb and some minor handling marks.
