I'd love to help you with that question, stag, except for two things: 1) I just bought the gun and haven't had it apart yet, and 2) It's my first Rossi, so I wouldn't know what the old ones look like anyway.

Rossi's are a classic "love/hate" rifle--notorious for lax tooling standards from the factory, but with a little finishing and polishing can shoot very well. I have a couple of their 44 mags that weigh in just under 5 lbs as delivered and they are hands down the most fun to carry and shoot rifles I have. They vanished from the market for a while, but appear to be back and yours' is definitely a "new look" for what they traditionally offer. I looked at their prices on the rossi website--they took a hefty jump as well and don't look to be far behind ruglins!
