The Rough Rider configuration here pairs a 16-inch round Buntline-style barrel with a six-shot .22 LR cylinder that has six flutes. It uses a fixed-sight setup with a front blade and a topstrap rear notch, and it operates as single-action only with an exposed spurred hammer.
Construction is purposefully robust: the barrel is 1215 steel and the cylinder is 12L14 steel, both finished in black oxide. The frame is Zamak 5 alloy with a satin silver/gray finish, and it wears smooth reddish hardwood grip panels for a classic appearance and consistent handling.
Controls and markings are clear and functional. A manual hammer-block safety lever sits on the left rear of the frame. The frame is marked "HERITAGE MFG. BAINBRIDGE, GA," while the barrel is marked "HERITAGE ROUGH RIDER .22 CAL" and "KEEP EMPTY CHAMBER UNDER HAMMER." The right side of the frame reads "READ MANUAL BEFORE USING."
Dimensions and weight are substantial, with an overall length of approximately 21.37 inches and an unloaded weight of about 49 oz. This model is part of the Rough Rider series and is identified by mfg part number RR22B16. It is made in the USA.
