Stocks retain nearly all of their orig rubbed oil finish with a few minor marks and compressions, grain slightly raised. Checkering shows slight wear. Skeleton buttplate retains approx 50% of its orig blue, with tiny dent on right side. Bores are excellent. Action is tight. Ejectors won’t trip and most certainly because this gun has seen little or no use. It only needs a cleaning but we won’t touch it because gun has not been touched and we intend to preserve its special integrity. This gun has seen almost no use. An incredible find. Guns in this condition, and of this quality, are exceptionally scarce. With only a few over 1000 BH guns made; fewer than 200 were 20 ga. 4-42576 MGM168 (35,000-55,000)
