Has been drilled and tapped and now sports one of the more unusual and scarce target sights this writer has seen. the sight was manufactured by Wittek Mfg Co. in Chicago. Exquisite aperture. Has a steel frog Springfield type sling. Adjustable rail under forearm. Walnut stock is excellent with a couple of normal bruises. Frame retains virtually all of the matte blue finish.
