I'd send end it to one of these internet genies who can magically proclaim it's safe based on 4 pics and let them shoot it.
I doubt anyone who would say this has much experience with lever guns or even understands what happens when an OBD occurs with one of these rifles.
Getting part of your face blown off with a $50 dollar gun takes the fun out of shooting.
So you can magically decide it's unsafe from 4 pics? Did you notice how the pic with the lever partially open shows the internals to be devoid of rust?
I've seen much, much worse lever action rifles that were perfectly functional, and used often.
