Condition
Good as Refinished. Bore is dirty with some residues that should clean to Bright with crisp rifling throughout. Markings to receiver weakened by refinish, which has taken on a plum color to barrel. Some scattered patina and scratches. Gray patina forming on bolt handle. Stock has been sanded and shows handling dents with buttstock fitting proud of the wood. Trigger reset is excessively slow, likely due to old lubricants that must be cleaned.
