Condition
Very Good. Bores have some residues that should wipe down to Minty. Metal finish has some scattered light scratches, grease residue on barrels, edgewear on the triggerguard, some internal operating scratches, and a nick to the right edge of the barrel rib on 20 Gauge barrels. Stock retains a tight wood to metal fit with some thinning of the finish on the toe, light scratches, and abrasions to the forward internal edges of the handguard, suggesting it was sanded down to more easily clear the barrel spacers. Action locks up tight with the barrels on face and the lever resting right of center. Case has some scuffs and scratches scattered overall.
