It is fitted with a Lyman tang sight. The receiver sides and receiver ring show vivid case colors. The upper sides and bottom of the lever also show fine case color as does the upper tang around the hammer and tang sight. The set trigger functions properly and retains the adjustment screw. Butt stock and forend are excellent. The bore is sharp, bright and excellent!
