Manufactured in 1950. Single bead, shotgun type sight, no rear sight. The left side of the barrel has the "MODEL 61-22 L. RIFLE- / -FOR SHOT ONLY-" at the breech, with the top of the barrel and receiver having a factory proof. Matching serial number on frame and trigger guard. Grooved flat bottom forearm and smooth pistol grip stock with a checkered metal buttplate.

Near mint as professionally restored. The rifle retains 99% blue finish with some minor slide wear and some speckling of gray on the front section of the magazine tube. The wood is near mint with some very scattered mild handling marks, along with a couple minor pressure dents on the buttstock. Mechanically excellent.
