The oil-finished walnut stock has good figure, and the well-executed checkering on the grip, fore-end and butt is about 18-20 lines per inch. Disc set strikers (firing pins) allow the replacement of a broken firing pin from the front of the breech face.The Southgate pattern selective ejectors are carefully timed to eject both fired cases simultaneously and to the same spot when both barrels are fired.
