Arms, Armor & Militaria Online

Good as Refinished. Bore is Very Bright with crisp rifling throughout, and a ring at the breech indicates it has been sleeved to the current caliber. The casehardened finish on the receiver has faded to a gray patina on the corners, but retains strong casehardening on the flats and internals. Blued finish displays edgewear with some thinning toward the muzzle with brown patina developing within losses. The stock has scattered light dents and mars overall, and the forend shows two empty screw holes. The mount for the rear sling swivel stud is empty, and the buttplate fits proud of the stock.

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition. Condition reports prepared by Freeman's staff are provided as a convenience and may be requested from the Department prior to bidding.

The absence of a posted condition report on the Freeman's website or in our catalogues should not be interpreted as commentary on an item's condition. Prospective buyers are responsible for inspecting a lot or sending their agent or conservator to inspect the lot on their behalf, and for ensuring that they have requested, received and understood any condition report provided by Freeman's.
