Condition: Very Good Overall. This gun has a very tight action. The action locks up strong and secure with it’s third bite. The action has full coverage, small Rose and Scroll engraving that is still crisp and clean. The action face has some pitting, but nothing to affect performance or safety. Sleeved barrels are in perfect condition inside and out. The sleeving joint is hardly noticable unless you are looking for it. The replacement buttstock is lovely and the wood to metal fit is excellant. The original forend is in terrific condition as well.
