Built on Ruger’s Red Label platform, this break-action over/under is chambered for 3 inch 20 gauge shells and feeds from a 2-round capacity. The 30 inch barrels and vent rib are paired with a brass/gold-colored front bead for a clean, traditional sight picture.
The stock and fore-end are walnut, with a checkered, pistol-grip stock and a recoil pad. The recoil pad is marked "MORGAN." The configuration is straightforward and consistent with a purpose-built field and sporting setup.
On the receiver, the matte silver finish is matched with a black top lever, while the barrels are blued/dark-finished. A circled "R" marking is present on the barrel/monobloc. Fore-end latch hardware is present.
This example is noted as a 1998 manufacture, with serial number 401-10358 marked on the tang/upper receiver. An extractor/ejector system is present, though it cannot be confirmed from the provided views whether it is extractor-only or uses automatic ejectors.
