Bolt with an electro-penciled serial number that matches the receiver. Left side of barrel and receiver are Winchester proofed. Mfg'd 1942. Rifle rates in near excellent condition with approx. 92% blue remaining, and clear factory lettering. There are a few thin scratches on the barrel, one is between the scope blocks and approx. 4" long. Most of the finish loss occurs on the trigger guard, which has several scratches, a few file marks, and shows general age and wear. Stock is in excellent condition and all the custom work is very nicely done. Checkering detail is crisp and overall, the stock has very few handling marks, the most noticeable are a few shallow indentations to the left side, below the receiver. Action is serviceable but a little rough, bottom right side of the bolt seems to be rubbing on the receiver when opening and closing. Bore is excellent with clearly defined rifling. Est.: $1,000-$1,500. (C&R)
