Arms, Armor and Militaria

Very Good. Bore is dirty with some dust and residue that should clean to Bright with some visible wear to the rifling throughout. Parkerized finish has worn down on the gas tube, and shows some thinning and scratches scattered overall, along with some light edgewear. Item further shows some light nicks along the edges of the metalwork. Spanner nut within the locking bar has had one side shear off. Though the sight adjusts, this means it is compromised. Operating rod is bent. Stock exhibits handling wear and mars with the stock markings having worn down, likely due to light sanding. Some dents, scratches, and stains to the wood overall. Checkering to the butt has been worn off on the edges. Item shows a throat erosion reading of between 2 and 3 and muzzle reading of about 4.
