The rifle retains the original factory bluing and stock finish with no added holes or other modifications. It is a high condition and collectible rifle, grading in NRA excellent condition.  The stock is low-comb style, showing a few very minor handling marks but no cracks, stains or other major defects.  The original finish is in excellent condition with no flaking or other defects. The original checkering crisp and without wear or damage.  The stock retains its original steal butt plate which shows almost no bluing loss. The walnut of the stock has a light discoloration on the right-hand side of the stock. This is a natural color variation within the wood and is not in the finish.
