| Can someone explain to me the difference between a many circles mag button and the one after that. From what I have seen they started with the horizontal line mag button then went to the many circles button on the 602. I see them around for $90. It looks like they then switched to the "current design" button. I don't see the difference between a many circles and the design after that. Anyone? Thanks |

Thanks If you look carefully at a "many circles" button it has FIVE "rings", and a later button only has FOUR "rings". Most 601 rifles also had the many circles buttons too. |

Not sure of an exact date for the change, but a member here has a 3 digit (7xx) real 601 that has the horizontal lined button, and there was another real 601 for sale that had a 1,1xx serial number that had the many circle button.
There are also 2 variations of the many circle. As mentioned above, 5 rings. When you look straight down at the button, one version the ribs go straight down into the button, the other version, the ribs have a slight taper as it goes down into the button. Obviously there is no way to know if either of those rifle are 110% un-molested, so take the info with a grain of salt. |

I had heard that only about the first 1,000 of the 601's had horizontal lines, and the real examples above would support this. I would LOVE to find a REAL horizontal line mag catch, however the repros are so good that I probably wouldn't know a real one if I saw it. |
