Manufactured in 1948. Blade front sight with bead and adjustable rear sights on a barrel with standard markings. 17 groove round forearm and smooth straight grip stock with factory hard rubber buttplate. Matching serial number on receiver and lower tang.

Excellent. The rifle retains 97% original blue finish with some minor slide wear (on the contact points of barrel), some mild thinning on the tangs, and some mild edge wear. Overall there are some minor scratches, with a few minor dings on the barrel. The wood is excellent with some scattered minor dings and some minor scratches. Mechanically excellent.
