This is a rare rifle that has a two-piece stock with downward-folding hinge just ahead of the trigger guard, and a grooved release latch on top of the wrist, just behind the receiver
Original early type double flip-up rear sight (50 & 100 yard ranges), blade front
These handy little rifles broke down for storage by depressing the wrist latch and folding the front section of the rifle down with the trigger guard and barrel muzzle coming to rest in form-fit cradles inlet into the wood
