I was in a pawn shop today that had a true gray rat model G. The tag said model 893, I looked the rifle over and the front of the receiver had two holes. One hole was where the 1 should have been. The other three digits were clearly 893, the three was clear and centered and did not seem to be a partial strike. The owner said he did some research, and was told this was common. What say you all, oh it was priced at $600.
