Good to Very Good. Bore is Bright with sharp rifling throughout. Metal finish shows some lacquer residue on the magazine floorplate, internal cycling wear, and some light edgewear at the muzzle. Bolt exhibits some cycling scratches and signs of gray patina forming. Serial number marking on the bolt appears in a dip in the metal, suggesting the original was ground down and the part force matched to the rifle. Stock finish is flaking and bubbling overall. Scope is functional.
