This purchase includes original factory paperwork, intact foam case & outside sleeve, (see photos) plus we have a box of the accompanying John Wayne commemorative 32-40 ammunition if you collect from the shop but we cannot ship this out. As can be seen in the photos, this beautiful rifle is unfired & presents in outstanding condition with traces of factory cosmoline inside the action. We are not going to try & rate the condition out of 100 as everyone seems to have a different opinion on what the percentages should be, so we'll let the pictures be the description. You will know if this is for you so view the photos carefully & make your decision based on what you see as they form the main description & override all written information. Ask for more if desired. We think we have described it accurately & correctly but do not claim to be infallible so if we have got anything wrong, it is unintentional. Whilst we check these out for serviceability, the warranty has expired & this is sold on an 'as is' basis. As with all used guns, we recommend you have this checked by a suitably qualified person prior to shooting. Standard cost for shipping to metro locations is $75 & all guns are sent via StarTrack without insurance but packed very well.
