You must not charge your patients very much if it took years to save up $478.
He was pulling your leg. You used the word "patients" in the title instead of "patience".
He beat me to it
Good job on the rifle. Sounds like a good price and the carbine length is perfect for that recliner.
Sounds like the 'yotes need to find a new neighborhood...because clearly you are in charge of that one!!!

I got a Mohawk 600 in 6mm with I believe an 18" barrel (I could be wrong, but it's short).... Stepdad passed away a couple years ago, and my mother gave it to my daughter (whom is only 19 months old now). Though, I have yet to shoot it. It was his designated coyote rifle, and it's very nice. 6mm Rem. is just too expensive to plink with. I'll have to get it out to the range one of these days to see how it performs.

REMINGTON MODEL 600 & 660
If you own a Remington Model 600 (including the Mohawk 600) or Model 660 rifle:
All Remington Model 600 and Model 660 rifles were manufactured with a bolt-lock mechanism and are subject to this bolt-lock Safety Modification Program. These models were discontinued in 1979. Please see Important Safety Notice regarding the 1979 recall below. If you participate in the current Safety Modification Program, your firearm will be cleaned and inspected for proper functioning by a qualified gunsmith. Once the condition of your firearm has been assessed, you will be notified of one of the following:
Your rifle’s trigger assembly is otherwise in good operating condition and the gunsmith will proceed to physically remove the bolt-lock feature so that your firearm can be loaded and unloaded while the safety remains in the “S” or “On Safe” position; or
Your rifle’s trigger assembly is found to be in an unsatisfactory or potentially unsafe operating condition because of any number of factors, including wear, alteration or maintenance. The entire trigger assembly will be replaced with a new factory trigger assembly, which does not incorporate a bolt-lock mechanism.
The cost, if any, to you for participating in the bolt-lock Safety Modification Program will depend upon whether your Model 600 or 660 rifle was previously repaired under a 1979 recall program.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE:
In 1979, Remington instituted a recall for Model 600 and 660 rifles made before February, 1975, because, under certain circumstances, the safety and trigger could be manipulated in a way that could result in an accidental discharge. Under the 1979 recall program, owners of the affected rifles could return their guns for installation of a new trigger assembly at no charge. Since 1979, thousands of the affected firearms have been serviced under the 1979 recall and received new trigger assemblies.
How can you tell if your Model 600 or 660 rifle was subject to the 1979 recall, and whether it was repaired as part of that program?
Model 600 and 660 rifles - except those with a serial number beginning with an "A" before the serial number - were subject to the 1979 recall.
Each Model 600 and 660 rifles repaired under the 1979 recall has a “V” (approximately 1/4 inch high) stamped on the left side of the trigger below the receiver line. These replacement trigger assemblies included the bolt-lock feature.
If you own a Model 600 or 660 rifle that was subject to the 1979 recall, does the current bolt-lock Safety Modification Program affect you?
If your Model 600 or 660 rifle was subject to the 1979 recall but was never repaired as part of that recall, then a new trigger assembly without a bolt-lock feature will be installed. This change will be made at no cost to you.
If your Model 600 or 660 rifle was repaired as part of the 1979 recall, or it was not subject to the 1979 recall, you may have the bolt-lock removed at a cost of $20, plus shipping and handling, plus tax. You will also receive a safety redemption certificate to complete and submit in order to receive a free blaze orange hat (one hat per certificate).

I much prefer all of my my bolt-action rifles to have the "bolt-lock" feature, even (in the case of two-position safeties) if it requires me to unload the rifle in the "fire" position. I don't want the possibility of the bolt to inadvertently be jarred to the slightly open position while hunting, thus precluding me of being able to take a shot (with the bolt even partially open, the rifle will not fire) and I have enough common sense to keep the rifle pointed in a safe direction if I am unloading a rifle with the safety in the "fire" position.
Three position safeties (as found in the Savage Model 110s, the Winchester Model 70s, the Ruger MKIIs and Hawkeyes, as well as others), which permit the rifle to have the bolt locked in the "safe" position while hunting but allow one to unload the rifle while the safety is in the "safe" position, are the most sensible alternatives to a two-position safety without the "bolt-lock" feature.
