Our Assessment: This is a complete B Series Swift Training Rifle. It still functions properly and is Very Good Condition. From Therifleman.org “It was intended simply to provide a tool to allow an instructor to teach holding and aiming. To that end, the rifle was provided with a bolt which actioned realistically, including a safety, sights equivalent to those on the service arm for which it was a reproduction, and a representative trigger pull.” When the trigger is pulled, a forked poker comes out of the muzzle about 2 inches and punctures a paper target and provides shooting diagnostics based on the type of holes created.
