you can expect what they put in their description. it will be shootable and the wood may be in any condition from pristine to banged up with bayonet gouges to brand new walnut stock depending on how serviceable the stock it sat in for 70 years was when they got it.

my service grade came with almost perfect wood but it was a loaner rifle and the greeks gouged out all the proofs and cartouches with a circular implement(or at least that's the nearest explanation I can get for it is). I have seen a number of guys get almost brand new barrels in theirs that barely register any wear at all but mine has a pretty worn chamber and not so bad muzzle. is the gamble worth $650? heck yes it is, no matter how bad it is your service grade will still be in better condition than the beaters that show up at your local pawnshops from time to time for $1000+.
