The Model 220 is a hammerless, break-action, single-shot design operated by a top lever. Chambered in 16 gauge with a 2 3/4 inch chamber, it carries a one-round capacity and uses a smoothbore, 28-inch blued barrel with no vent rib.
An external Poly-Choke adjustable muzzle device is installed, and the front bead is mounted directly on the choke. This setup provides user-selectable choke constriction at the muzzle.
The shotgun wears two-piece wood furniture, including a long, rounded fore-end and a pistol-grip buttstock. A ventilated rubber recoil pad with a black spacer is fitted, yielding a 14.5 inch length of pull.
Markings include "PROOF TESTED 16 GAUGE 2 3/4 INCH CHAMBER" on the barrel. The Utica, New York barrel address identifies the piece as pre-1946 production and confirms U.S. manufacture. The finish is blued.
