The rifle is equipped with a Manners MCS-TF4 folding stock with adjustable comb for optimal cheek weld, an aluminum bedding block for consistent accuracy, and a SureFire muzzle brake that doubles as a suppressor adapter. The three-position Model 70-type safety provides safe carry, fire, and bolt manipulation positions.
