That would be my guess as well........ Seeing as how I own one. And in march of 2012 I was posting a "what is it?" thread here also trying to find out what it was. And Mad Dog assisted in the identification of mine as well . So a big THANK YOU to him....... I've still got it and it's a great shooter; and mine's got 7863 for a serial number. Thanks again, Mad Dog.
