The rifle is fitted with a blade front sight and an elevation adjustable rear sight. The barrel has the two-line address/patent dates marking on the top flat ahead of the rear sight and "50-95-EX." on the upper left flat at the breech. A Rampant Colt is stamped on the left side of the frame. The forearm features multi-point checkering and the plain straight grip stock is fitted with a solid crescent steel buttplate.
