Condition
Very Good Plus. Bores are dirty with some firing residues that should clean to Minty. Metal finish shows some light scratches and streaks to the barrels, and some residues in screw heads. Stock shows some light scratches with wood fill behind the triggerguard and some roughness to the checkering. Barrels lock up tight with the action on face and the lever resting right of center. Travel case has some cracking through belts and scattered light scuffs.
