Greener style side safety, dual triggers, and tang mounted selector for the rifle barrel. Multi-point checkered pistol grip stock with a scalloped horn grip cap and serrated horn buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Very good as partially refinished (barrels). The barrels have 85% of the blue finish with areas of mild pitting visible under the blue, handling marks, and a few small dings along the rib. The receiver has aged to a mostly gray patina with faint traces of case colors, fine engraving, and handling marks. The wood is very good with well defined checkering, small indentations, and handling marks throughout. Mechanically excellent.
