The Competition Target configuration features a 6.88 inch slab-sided heavy barrel with a recessed crown, designed for stability and precise, repeatable performance. The stainless upper and stainless grip frame give it a durable, uniform finish that complements its target-focused build.
Sighting is handled by an adjustable rear sight paired with a pinned red fiber-optic front sight for a clear, bright aiming reference. The receiver is factory drilled and tapped with three filler screws visible, and the right side of the receiver is roll-marked "COMPETITION TARGET MODEL."
The Mark III system uses a fixed-barrel blowback action with twin bolt ears for positive manipulation. Controls include a button magazine release and a manual thumb safety.
