The bolt and inside are worm jeweled. A Lyman 48 receiver sight has been mounted. It sports a banded ramp front sight with no cut for a rear barrel sight. The left side of frame has the G&H scope base with hidden screws.

A small section of floor plate is checkered. There is an initialed silver plated plaque at base with SMO. Gun also sports a sling. CONDITION: Excellent. The floor plate is starting to blend but balance of metal retains majority of blue with minor handling. The rich stock is excellent with sharp checkering and minor handling. Mechanically sound.
