This weapon is fully transferable on an ATF form 3 or form 4. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is absolutely outstanding, finest orig specimen this cataloger has ever seen. Metal finish starting to thin is some places with some tinges of brown. Bolt and op-rod near excellent, shiny and bright. Bore is excellent, shiny and bright. Wood has some nicks, bruises and handling marks but considering it's history, this is to be expected. Sling is still strong and serviceable with leather just starting to flake on surface, pretty much impossible to upgrade this highly sought after and desirable specimen. 50409-1 JWK40 (20,000-40,000)
