Usually categorized as such due to lack of ORIGINAL blue finish. ie: Grey. But there are also "Blue Rats" (reblues) Black Rats (Bake on finishes), Cheese Rats(non original holes) Freckled Rats (pitting/wide spread rust), Wood Rat (non O.E. wood, added pads, chopped butts) a sub-specie of the Wood rat that is not as harshly admonished as of late is the Studded Rat. It is quite possible (and unfortunately quite often) to find a "Hybrid Rat" that is a mongrel mix of any of the "Rat" species. Example, the picture above is a "Grey Cheese Rat" for example. (No Bluing, and non O.E. tapped for a scope) America is (supposed to be) a Republic, NOT a democracy. Learn the difference, help end the lie. Fear a government that fears your guns.
