My 440 refurb has what I thought was a cosmetic flaw - a little divit in the breach block just in front of the sight. It doesn't look like it's punched, but rather as if someone just started drilling a hole.
At first I thought that maybe the factory started drilling this one for the lower grade sight (which requires a hole further up) by mistake, but the divit is off-center. Then I noticed that wifey's refurb Shadow has a similar divit in roughly the same spot.
I know that Crosman punches an "R" on the breach block next to the serial number... is this Gamo's way of tagging the gun as "not new"?
-
It's from the factory, both of my Shadow Hunters have the same mark, they just spot it with a small drill.
I have seen it after the serial number also.

Crosman's "R" stamped into the breach block at least looks dignified - not like a some ding-dong machinist goofed up.
Oh well... I'll have to blue it (or something) just so it doesn't stick out...
