That alone of course precludes from grading the guns as 'good' as they weren't original rifle when imported - they were assembled from a grab bag of parts. Or 'barreled action', meaning that the gun was imported just as action, without bolt or stock (and stickers had text to that effect). About one quarter was marked as 'GI' - for 'good, incomplete', and the rest were marked as 'BA'. Meaning that the guns were incomplete and in poor condition.
About half of the guns were marked as 'PI' - for 'poor, incomplete', To start, the guns still bear the original Samco tags with the importer's original grading. Unfortunately, these guns are very far from this definition. Principal letters, numerals and design on metal legible wood refinished, scratched bruised or minor cracks repaired in good working order. Some minor replacement parts metal smoothly rusted or lightly pitted in places, cleaned or re-blued
