Hope I got that right, so Jackfish doesn't holler at me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
If you don't mind, could you give us the serial number of your rifle, exactly as it appears, so that we can verify our notions about these prefixes? (Feel free to replace the last three digits with "XXX".) If you'd rather not, that's okay, too.
Edited to correct errors pointed out by jackfish. (Thanks, jackfish.)
