Boxlock with 28" re-sleeved steel barrels, the bores being perfect with approximately 0.030" wall thickness.

Action engraved W. R. Leeson, Patent Screw Grip. Engraving on the action is very simple/almost non-existent, the action is of a bright finish (possibly a third grade or keeper's gun or alternatively an export to the colonies). Being a relatively early Leeson, it does not have the fine fluted (Leeson) fences that appear on many later guns.

The forend is fitted with the snap type release.
