The rifle features an approximately 30 in heavy bull round barrel with a matte in-the-white appearance. The chamber is marked "CALIBRE 45 2 1/10" for .45-70 Govt., and the capacity is one round. The barrel is factory rollmarked "Shiloh-Sharps Model 1874," and barrel scope blocks are installed to support the included target scope.
The action is a falling-block single-shot with an external side hammer. Double set triggers are fitted for precise control. Length of pull measures 14.0 inches, providing a steady, traditional rifle fit.

An upgraded globe front sight remains installed for refined aiming options.
