The right side of the frame has been relieved to more easily load cartridges and it has a single set trigger. There is a sight mount dovetailed into the left side of the receiver.

Very fine as custom built, 99% of the high quality blue finish remains with some scattered minor scratches. The wood is very good with some scattered minor scratches, dings and flaking of the finish on the forend tip. Mechanically excellent.
