Barrel release lever also has heavy wear as well as underneath the lever. Bottom of receiver near trigger also shows wear. Stock have several notable scuffs and scratches along sides and underneath. Forearm also has several scuffs. finish along barrels is in good intact condition. I would place it at around 92% as there are some wear marks. However finish is still very much intact.
