Bbls retain nearly all original blue, thinning very slightly at muzzles, with a few light marks from handling and use. Action retains 95% of original color, with a few minor stains, and silvering a bit on beads, and sharp edges. Trigger guard has nearly all of its case color and lacquer, thinning and silvering a bit at grip. Stock retains nearly all its original finish, with a small number of marks and nicks. Forend iron and latch show a considerable amount of their case color, but thinned, and mostly silver gray. Action is tight. Bores are excellent, bright and shiny. Set trigger works. A high condition example of this sought after Drilling. 4-39725 MGM106 (6,000-8,000)
