- A side loading gate works alongside the removable tube magazine, letting shooters top off the magazine quickly without dismounting the rifle from the shoulder.
- The shorter 16.5 inch barrel and 34 inch overall length make this carbine easier to maneuver in tight cover than the full-length rifle.
- The semi-buckhorn rear sight with a diamond insert pairs with a brass bead front sight for a precise, traditional Western-style sight picture.
