Very good, with 80% of the original blue finish, showing a brown patina at the rear of the barrel group, on the magazine and compensator, along with scattered spotting and handling marks. The rib is slightly loose. Some mild edge wear and handling marks are present on the frame, with a section missing from the bird tail on the right side. Light scratches on the stock, which shows some surface cracking and is in need of adjustment. Mechanically very good.
