The rifle features a 35-inch barrel with crisp rifling and a reflective bore. The stock retains its original cartouches, adding to the rifle's historical authenticity and collector appeal. The wood and metal finishes exhibit honest signs of age while remaining in great overall condition, reflecting careful preservation over the years. With a 13-inch length of pull and mechanical function as designed, this is a highly attractive example of a classic U.S. military rifle.
