The receiver retains most of its dark blue finish with bright water table. The top tang and trigger guard retain most of their blue finish with some wear . The stock has a hairline by the receiver, otherwise the wood is sound and retains most of a fine professional finish with a few scattered light handling and use marks. Mechanics are fine, bright shiny bores. 4-53697 JR1019 (15,000-25,000)
