Full length magazine tube with large brass follower and forward sling bar with ring. Iconic later contour brass frame stamped on the lower tang with Oliver Winchester's "W" inspection stamp. Walnut stock of late form with a mildly obtuse comb angle. Matching serial number stamped in the stock channel.

Stock has been lightly cleaned, a few impressions and other bruises remaining. Very strong, well defined bore with frosting and other imperfections. Fine mechanics.
