Condition
Excellent. Bore shows some jacket residues that should clean to Minty with sharp rifling. Metal finish is without recognizable scratches or handling wear to the exterior. Some faint brass residue to the feed ramp, and some weakening of the jeweling on the bolt indicative of cycling. Wood furniture is devoid of handling mars or scratches and retains crisp checkering and edges. Box exhibits some abrasions and scratches on the edges.
