Fine as refinished, the blue components retain 99% of the gunsmith custom blue finish with some minor high edge/muzzle wear and a few scattered minor marks. The bolt has been renumbered, the receiver tang has been reshaped from a straight tang and the proofmarks have been restamped. The replacement stock is good with the reinforcing bolts added, a large putty filled repair at the top of the wrist and a few scattered minor scratches and dings. Mechanically excellent. The scope is excellent with clear optics.
