Hi to me they are a a special rifle indeed they were a Sloans special not a lot of them made i have the Whelen and could never get it to shoot under 1 1/2 inches at 100 yds but my 358 will shoot anything under an inch at 100 yds

To correct myself according to RENE they were a Jerrys special if this is the carbine 19 1/4 inch barrel with iron sights if not it is still a hard gun to find
