Rating Definition:
Fine overall with mostly bright barrel and furniture, 60% plus original case colors on the breechblock and lock, and minor age and storage type wear overall, including some faint spotting and minor marks on the lightly sanded, re-oiled wood. Mechanically excellent. This rifle is essentially as issued.
