There are intermittent spots of light erosion along with light fouling throughout. The action functions correctly. The hammer has quarter and half-cock safety positions. I have fired this rifle many years ago after it was inspected. Worked like a champ. A real thrill to fire. As with all used firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your standards.

It has been with this rifle for many years and have no idea of how they ended up together. More photos upon request. Prefer local pick up but will ship.
