It was as factory fresh as the day it was made without a single blemish or sign of age (unlike your truly who is well past his sell by date ). Took me two weeks before I'd venture out with it, and a further three before I risked damaging it by fitting a scope! Now I use it quite often, but treat it with reverence (as indeed I do all my kit), and it is still maintaining its very good condition status. Enjoy your new toy and remember it was made for shooting, and these Birmingham made beauties are a bit more robust than we give them credit for (will someone please remind me that I said that when my walnut Mercury "S" .177 arrives in a few days time ).
