This specific carbine variant features a 16.5-inch barrel and an overall length compliant with California regulations. The “cosmetic blemishes” designation refers to minor surface marks, finish variations, or handling scuffs that do not impair the action, bore, or safety mechanisms. Each unit is factory-inspected and fully functional.
