The rifle features a bushed firing pin, double set triggers, and a manual cocking piece/safety.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, retaining 99% original blue and coin finishes with minor handling evidence and tarnished grip cap and inscription oval. The fine wood shows a few dings and scratches, some chipping along the left of the stock head, a small crack off the upper tang, and overall crisp checkering. The scope optics are clear. The case is fine. Mechanically excellent.
