Very Good. Bores are dirty with some dust that should clean to Minty. Blued finish exhibits some light muzzle wear with some thinning and streaking on the barrels. Wood retains a tight fit to the metal with some thinning to the finish on the high edges. Trace of repair or wood fill along the left edge of the trigger plate. Stock finish has some scratches and mars near butt, likely from when the spacers were installed to adjust length of pull. Two chips to the upper right forward corner of the forend. Action locks up with the barrels on face and lever resting right of center, but shows slight wiggle left to right and up and down. Case has some scattered scuffs and scratches.
