This belonged to my now deceased brother. Because of the time which it was purchased, my guess is that it was never fired or perhaps fired once or twice, but I honestly don't think so. My brother's health was not such that he could have been out shooting. This rifle is in excellent condition. It features an adjustable stock and a Norinco NJ scope has been added. It has been sitting for a good while so it could use a good cleaning. There is some very light surface rust on the barrel. It comes with only one magazine and I have a jar with just over 400 rounds, mostly Remington, that I will throw in as well. I have no idea what the condition of the ammo is, so please keep that in mind. This is a very cool looking gun and from all the reviews I've read, it is very dependable.
