It has a 16-inch carbine barrel with a knurled barrel nut and a plain crown, polymer ribbed handguard and pistol grip, and a folding metal stock with ribbed buttplate and spring-hinged struts. Capacity is 25+1, with two 25-round steel magazines included.
The Model B sight set includes a protected front post adjustable for elevation and a rear flip L aperture for 100 and 200 meters with windage adjustment and a reference drum. Controls include a manual safety selector. Overall length is approximately 31.5 inches with the stock extended and 24.0 inches folded.
The wood presentation case features a blue-velvet fitted interior and holds the carbine with both a long carbine barrel and a short display barrel, plus the barrel-nut tool, sling, and documentation. The case was previously damaged and repaired; the top does not align perfectly with the bottom and requires slight tension to fully close.
