Description:

This rifle was manufactured in 1933, the second year of production, and features a full octagon barrel with a Redfield dovetail front sight and adjustable Redfield rear sight. The left side of the barrel is marked "22 SHORT" along with the other standard markings. It has the smaller 11 groove forearm and plain pistol grip stock with a blue checkered steel buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Very fine with 85% plus original blue finish remaining with wear along the bottom of the barrel due to slide retraction wear, edges of the buttplate and thinning finish on the slide arm and edges of the receiver. There is some small areas of minor pitting on the left side of the receiver and trigger guard. The slide handle has been freshened and the stock revarnished, both remain in excellent condition with scattered minor dents and nicks. Mechanically excellent.
