There is about a 1/8″ x 2″ sliver of wood missing from forend toward left tip. Most all screw slots show use. Action is tight. Bbls are slightly off face. Locks are crisp. Bores are fine, mostly bright, slightly frosted. This plainly finished, but high quality, gun should make a great shooter. 4-39801 MGM100 (6,000-9,000)
