The barrel and magazine retain about 15% original blue finish which is blended nicely with a smooth brown patina. The action retains 85-90% bright original blue finish with most loss coming on belly of action and top tang. The plain walnut stocks rate excellent retaining 80% original finish and showing just light handling marks.
