Hammer retains about all of its orig case colors and the lever bright case colors on the sides and in sheltered areas, fading on the outer faces. Loading gate retains most of its bright fire blue. Wood is sound with a few light nicks, scratches & dings and overall retains about all of its fine factory oil finish. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant, shiny bore, may be unfired. Cleaning rod is equally new. This is one of the better ’66 carbines to come to market in many years. 4-48406 JR198 (15,000-25,000)
