Bbl in gun and lock have been re-finished. Mechanics are crisp. Bore is extremely fine, shiny and bright. Bore in 8mm spares also appear fine and shiny. Unable to determine other bore because both muzzle and chamber are welded shut. Wooden stock has numerous bruises and dings with a 4″ long crack parallel to the receiver line on right side only which does not detract from serviceability.
