I've found two small spots of surface pitting on the bolt, very light spots. Other than that, everything looks well taken care of. The action is smooth and the wood is in good shape. The inside of the barrel looks good. I'm taking it to a gunsmith before I shoot it. I'm also going to wax it as soon as possible.
Time to start saving for an M1 Garand.
