The 26" round barrel is marked at the breech "50 EX" and is mounted with a blade front sight and desirable platinum line 3-leaf express rear sight. Stocked in plain walnut with crescent rifle butt plate. CONDITION: Good.

Stocks are fine with the usual nicks and impressions, a split at the toe, and some minor staining on the forend. Frosted bore with defined rifling throughout. Fine mechanics.
