Can anyone tell me the difference between a Neilson MN300 and a 600?
Thanks, PopC

LLoyd Nielsen Made two models in the MN 300.
The original model required an adaptor screwed into the receiver to accept the barrel and the trigger was fixed with two cross pins same as an Omark. I stand corrected on the second model but I think it still needed an adaptor but the trigger was bolted on.
The MN600 was made as a one piece receiver with no adaptor and had the same bolt on trigger as the later MN 300.
Later he made another model which was called a "Sabre" and was a back locking action---never really took off.
Following that he made another version of the 600 which was designated an XL and incorporated a dovetail for scope mounting.
