Drew, Ken & Stanley, thank you kindly for your time and input. I just joined the Association, so will follow up as you have suggested. Slim chances I would have 1 of 8, but then I recall having 1 of 227 in a Remington 600 .223 with vent rib.....while I was young and going to school and needed money....I sold that gun for $100, what I paid for it.....and the rest is painful memory of what I didn't know I had! I will post an update when the verdict comes.
