Good to very good. Bores are both bright and clean. Finish to barrels is mostly bare, with a few small pit clusters near chambers. Barrels possibly buffed at some point as some of the barrel markings are slightly weak and there are faint abrasions to most of barrel, likely from polishing. Wood stock is in good condition, with some scattered light scratches and mars. Forearm has a slight wiggle. Release lever is slightly right of center. Action is functional.
