the 600s in 350 Remington Magnum (which I think was the first of the short Magnums). Anyway, the gun had the plastic vent rib and the plastic bottom material (actually sort of a soft rubber material). I liked the gun even though it pounded me silly every shot (I was younger then and thought I was enjoying the recoil). After a short while the vent rib began to warp and you could see under it. The bottom mag release and around the trigger group also began to warp. I was still in radio back then and working part time at the local gun shop in Clarksville Tennessee and didn't know diddly. One of the older guys there told me the gun was coming apart and I needed to get rid of it. Being dumber than a box of rocks I believed him. I sold the gun and have always sorta regretted it.
But the model 600 and the later 660 were great little guns.
