Smooth straight grip stock, with a filed groove on the right hand side of the wrist, a wire inserted into the groove, proper style shadow line cheekpiece and a steel carbine buttplate. Although serial numbers on existing specimens indicate that almost 250 were made, very few are known.

Rating Definition:

Fair, with areas of smooth gray patina and a smooth dark patina. There is some minor pitting concentrated on the barrel, along with minor flash pitting. Stock is very good with some chipping and a few cracks along the grain near the underside and some minor dings and scratches overall. The buttplate is slightly loose. Mechanically needs work, action doesn't function.
