The A/680 action locks up on twin underlugs only (no rib extension), providing a traditional, robust SxS layout. The extractor setup simplifies operation and aligns with the gun’s straightforward, field-ready design.
Barrel configuration includes a solid, serrated top rib and a slotted (ventilated) bottom rib with an integral front sling swivel. A brass front bead provides a clear aiming reference.
Controls and firing setup are classic: double triggers, tang safety, and internal hammers. The 28-inch barrels, 2-round capacity, and a 14-inch length of pull support practical handling.
