The rifle has the mid-war pattern all milled components to include the closed and milled upper barrel band. Hooded front sight and tangent rear sight graduated to 200 meters, The stock and handguard are the correct "bcd" produced laminated wartime versions and the stock has the correct single "C" proof on the lower stock area and a Waffenamt over "H" on the right side.
