This was the first rifle I have ever purchased on auction!( Rock Island Lot 2033)  It is paid for but not yet delivered. What do you all think ?? From the photos does it look like a solid gun?  Thanks for your input !

Ed,

Looks like a good rifle just a little distress to the wood.

Nice rifle.

I don’t agree with the “very fine” condition RIA states, however IMO you did well for what you paid.
