Good as modified with shortened barrel and stock. The steel components are bright overall, with scattered spotting, areas of brown patina, and a few mild dings and handling marks. The front sight is a replacement. The modified stock is very good, with light dents and a few minor chips and scuffs. Mechanically very good.
