This is a Nickel steel gun. Stock has original finish that shows some normal wear. Winchester logo plastic butt plate. Stock shows normal hunting dings and scratches and has No cracks or missing wood. the forearm has a small hairline crack (see pictures)in it that looks to have been glued at one time in its life but is fully functional and not missing any wood. both stock and forearm look to have their Original finish.

Barrel is marked full but has been opened to improved cylinder, the bore size of the barrel is .735 and the choke section of the barrel measures 2 5/8th inches long with a 3/4 inch parallel choke measuring .722 which gives it 13 thousandths of choke which in choke terms is a tight improved cylidner.
