Butt has good fit to tang, but has some sort of material wrapped around it and the tangs. The action is smooth. The model marking on top tang is legible, the two line barrel address is clear, and serial number on bottom tang is also legible. Brass lifter is unmarked. The screw at the end of the magazine tube is protruding out of its hole.
