The forestock has finger grooves and the butt is ribbed. It is fitted with adjustable flip up rear sight & shrouded foresight . The rifle is 44” overall length. It is under lever cocking and its loading and firing action works perfectly. The price for this rare First Model Airsporter includes UK delivery.
