The rifle presents in all factory-original finishes and grades in NRA very good condition.
The original bluing on the rifle is very nice grading at better than 90% with light edge wear and some general thinning of the receiver bluing. The trigger guard has the only notable bluing loss on the rifle. The bore of the 26" stainless barrel is outstanding under the borescope, with absolutely no pitting or throat erosion. There is light wear of the lands in the first 8-10 inches of the bore, which otherwise is nearly perfect. We grade the bore an 8 out of 10. All parts are original and correct for the period and chambering. The bolt is correct and serial number matched to the receiver.
