Fine line checkering, auto ejectors and safety with chopper lump barrels.This configeration offered has modeled the Winchester 21 double barrel with single selective trigger, pistol grip, 26" barrels, ventilated rib and beavertail forearm. This combination of features was a favorite of Jack O'Connor's AYA doubles in the 60"s and 70"s for upland bird shooting.
