Front sight blade is missing. Wood stock forearm has cracks towards the rear right with some of the wood missing. The forearm also has dents and scratches. The rear butt stock has possibly been re-surfaced or replaced at some point in the rifle's age. The butt plate has a small door for the small compartment. Plate has lots of rust and tarnish buildup. Bluing is non-existent throughout the firearm. Action seems to work fine, but has not been checked for feeding, loading, and ejecting ammunition although springs have possibly been replaced or have weakened with age. There is rust buildup throughout the metal with pitting. Bore shows clear rifling with pitting throughout.
Gun has not been test fired or inspected by a gunsmith. Action works correctly to the best of our knowledge. We do not clean guns and recommend a thorough cleaning before use.
