Overall Condition: This rifle retains about 98% of its metal finish. The barrel and receiver maintain strong finish coverage, with only minor handling wear and finish loss noticeable on the bolt handle.

Mechanics: The action functions correctly. This rifle employs a push-feed bolt. The safety is mounted at the rear of the bolt on the right side and has three positions: fully forward is ready to fire, the middle position blocks the trigger but allows the bolt to cycle, and fully rearward blocks both trigger and bolt. We did not fire this rifle. As with all used firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance standards.
