Looking for info on a Remington 600,
Recently(yesterday)I did some work for an older gentleman and in payment he gave me a Rem.600 chambered in .308 win.(ya gotta love the barter system) the strange thing is that it has a short(18 inch) barrel on it.It looks like a carbine barrel and I was wondering if that was the way it came or did someone(for whatever reason)modify it.I have not fired it yet,I'll take care of that later today and find out if it's a shooter or not.I cannot imagine why someone would have the barrel cut down on a rifle.Any help or info would be appreciated.I should add that it has a small replica of a Mexican coin(I assume it's a peso)inlaid into the stock on the underneath side.
