When evaluating the condition of firearms, the National Rifle Association (NRA) has established standardized grading criteria to ensure uniformity and accuracy. These standards are essential for collectors, dealers, and enthusiasts to assess the value and functionality of both modern and antique firearms.

At Londero Sports, we use these standards to provide our customers with transparent and accurate firearm condition ratings.

NRA Modern Gun
Condition Standards

NEW: Not previously sold at retail; in the same condition as current factory production.

PERFECT: In new condition in every respect. Many collectors and dealers use "As New" to describe this condition.

EXCELLENT: Used but little, with no noticeable marring of wood or metal; bluing is perfect, except at the muzzle or sharp edges.

VERY GOOD: In perfect working condition, with no appreciable wear on working surfaces; no corrosion or pitting; only minor surface dents or scratches.

GOOD: In safe working condition; minor wear on working surfaces; no broken parts; no corrosion or pitting that would interfere with proper functioning.

FAIR: In safe working condition but well-worn; may require replacement of minor parts or adjustments (which should be indicated in advertisements); no rust, but may have corrosion pits that do not render the firearm unsafe or inoperable.

POOR: Major and minor parts replaced; major replacement parts required and extensive restoration needed; metal deeply pitted; principal lettering, numerals, and design obliterated; wood badly scratched, bruised, cracked, or broken; mechanically inoperative; generally undesirable as a collector's firearm.

GOOD: Some minor replacement parts; metal smoothly rusted or lightly pitted in places, cleaned or re-blued; principal letters, numerals, and design on metal legible; wood refinished, scratched, bruised, or minor cracks repaired; in good working order.

FAIR: Some major parts replaced; minor replacement parts may be required; metal rusted, may be lightly pitted all over, vigorously cleaned or re-blued; rounded edges of metal and wood; principal lettering, numerals, and design on metal partly obliterated; wood scratched, bruised, cracked, or repaired where broken; in fair working order or can be easily repaired and placed in working order.
