Very fine. The barrel and receiver retain 95% parkerized finish with some wear on the barrel and on the top edge of the receiver from normal cycling. The remaining parts retain 90% blue finish with some thinning to a smooth mottled brown patina on the trigger guard, and some thinning and edge wear on the barrel bands. The stock is also excellent with a few minor scratches and dents. The sling is very good. The markings are sharp. Mechanically excellent. The box is fine.
