This rifle uses an underlever-operated falling-block breech with no external hammer, configured for 4 mm gallery cartridges. The double-set triggers support precise shot control, consistent with traditional Central European Schuetzen practice.
The barrel is octagonal with a full-length matted top rib. At the muzzle, a circular faceplate shows three small ports, and an under-barrel clamp assembly with an integral sling loop and adjustable stop/slider is fitted. Barrel length is listed at 8.5.
The stock is classic Schuetzen architecture: a right-hand Tyrolean cheekpiece, a steel Schuetzen hook buttplate, a detachable palm rest, and a checkered pistol-grip. It features a splinter fore-end and sling swivels. Length of pull is 13.0.
Sighting is set up for fine aiming, with a tang-mounted diopter/aperture rear sight wearing a large disk, paired to a front sight mounting provision near the muzzle.
Metal finishes are noted as blued on the barrel and rib, with a color casehardened receiver and buttplate, giving the rifle the traditional aesthetic expected of a Zimmerstutzen-class build.
