Classic carbine length round barrel with full length magazine tube retained by a pair of barrel bands, 2-line address, and blade front sight. The rear sight dovetail has been filled in and the ladder sight moved back onto the receiver. As is was commonly done in the period, bolt has been modified to fire centerfire ammunition. Iconic brass 2nd model carbine receiver with iron saddle ring. Lower tang appears to be a replacement, expertly refitted. Standard walnut forend.
