The lettering is still sharp and easy to read. The corners are still good without being rounded off. The screws are not flattened. The action works just fine with no issues. The dust cover spring is weak so the dust cover slides around loosely. The carbine’s finish is now brown patina. The sights are original to this gun. This carbine shows heavy use and wear. It will still shoot however. The stock and forend have no cracks. There is what looks like”0″ lead buck shot in four places on the right side of the stock and forend! Three in the stock and one in the forend. This is a interesting old Winchester that has a story to tell!
