Build Quality and Craftsmanship

Barrel and Action: The 20-inch round barrel wears a quality blued finish that complements the steel receiver. The action cycles smoothly, thanks to a steel loading gate engineered for reliable operation shot after shot.

Stock and Furniture: The straight-grip walnut stock features a satin oil finish that feels velvet-smooth in your hands. Classic carbine-style forearm with blued barrel band captures the authentic look and feel of original 1873 carbines. The blued steel carbine strap buttplate provides a solid, comfortable shoulder hold.

Sights and Customization: Semi-buckhorn rear sight and blade front sight get you on target quickly. The receiver tang is drilled and tapped for an optional tang-mounted rear sight, allowing you to customize your sight picture for precision shooting.
