Fine, 85% plus of the original blue finish remains with moderate cycling and minor high edge wear, flaking along the magazine tube, scattered minor freckling, areas of pin prick pitting and one spot where oxidation has been cleaned with an abrasive. The revarnished wood is very good with scattered dings and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
