Barrel and bands retain nearly all of the brilliant factory blue. Perfect colors on block and tang. Mirror bore. Perfect action. Side plate retains all of the original factory blue. This rifle is virtually in as new condition, even the trigger guard and buttplate retain virtually all of the original factory blue finish. One of the best examples we've ever seen.
