Professionally refinished, 95% plus of the blue finish remains overall with wear on the trigger guard area and some scattered minor scratches and dings. There are some assembly scratches on the left side of the receiver and on the bottom of the barrel. The wood is very good as refinished with some scattered dings and scratches along with a replacement recoil pad. Mechanically fine but magazine tube is very difficult to insert into the receiver and turn to lock.
