It has a full length magazine. The left side of the frame has the Rampant Colt and the serial number is on the lower tang. Mounted with a checkered forearm and a smooth straight grip stock with crescent buttplate.

ConditionFine. The rifle retains 50% original blue finish with edge wear, scattered minor spotting, areas of thinning and a few minor scratches on the receiver.
