Very fine as partially refinished (trigger guard assembly and stock). The carbine retains 97% original blue finish showing some loss at the muzzle and some minor high edge wear (mostly on the buttplate). The revarnished stock is fine with a pool of varnish behind the grip and some minor handling marks with overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. A fine example of an American Winchester timeline.
