Krupp Fluid Steel 24" extractor dovetail lump barrels with raised solid matted rib with 1 standing and 4 folding leaf express sights.

Deeley forend release. 14" LOP over an old solid 3/4" red pad. 9lb 14oz This is a solid working rifle with a new hinge pin by J.J. Perodeau. It is tight and on face with very good bores.
