Rating Definition:

Professionally refinished, the barrel retains 99% of the matte blue finish with scattered minor scratches. There are dings and minor pin prick pitting underneath the finish. The casehardened components retain 95% of the bright case colors with a couple small spots of flaking, some handling wear and some minor freckles of oxidation. The revarnished wood is very good with some scattered dings and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
