Two smaller holes on the lower edge behind the trigger accommodate the wire stock. The skeleton grip was made from a 1/4 inch diameter steel rod. The rifle was marketed to boys and sold for $5.00 at the time. For an additional .40 cents, you could get a canvas holster attached to a bicycle frame to carry the rifle in. The gun employs a bolt block that swivels to the side to allow the cartridge to be inserted. 12 inch or 30.5cm barrel.
