The rifle features a 26-inch blued barrel paired with a case-colored receiver, hammer, and breechblock. The front sight is a tall beaded blade, while the grip sports a flip-up, elevation-adjustable peep aperture, ideal for precise shooting. The hardwood stock is finely checkered with a straight grip and adorned with a decorative metal nose cap, stacking swivel, barrel band, and a commemorative brass buttplate badge.
