Condition Report
Metalwork: The factory bluing is in great shape, retaining a deep, glossy finish across the barrel and receiver. The receiver engraving remains completely sharp and clear. There is only minor, honest handling wear present on the sharp edges and moving parts, completely typical for a well-cared-for field gun.
Woodwork: The walnut stock and forend feature a high-gloss finish with clean checkering. Note: As is common with heavy-recoiling Magnum Auto-5 models, there is a tight, small hairline crack visible in the wood finish at the top of the wrist where it meets the receiver tang (visible in photo IMG_3392.jpg). It remains tight, stable, and does not impact the overall handling.
Mechanics: The action functions smoothly with a strong return spring, clean feeding mechanics, and a bright, crisp gold trigger.
