This example has the date code "5AD" and was manufactured in May of 2003. The barrels have a brass insert blade front sight and a fixed rear sight. The rear quarter of the rib is raised and has places to install scope bases. The sides of the receiver, trigger plate, trigger guard, break lever and rear portion of the barrels have flourishes of floral scroll engraving. The bottom flats of the barrels are marked with the caliber "8x57 IRS". Fitted with a single non-selectable trigger, ejectors and an automatic safety.
