???
anyone handle one yet?

The big question is how long is the delivery time?
Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturing Company is proud to announce our new CSMC Model 21 Over & Under

Manufactured in our facility in New Britain, CT to the highest standard. This is the over and under version of our currently available Model 21 Side by Side. We build this gun using all of the same machining, tooling, techniques, finishes and the original process. The Model 21 Over & Under is a very low profile, shallow frame, very similar in feel to the Side by Side Model 21. They are virtually the same height and weight with the same balance that made the Model 21 famous. We are offering a Standard Grade with a blued receiver, a #6 Pigeon Grade and a Grand American. Initially available in 20ga. only.


Standard Features on all Grades:
� Tear drop blued frame
� 20 ga. with 3� Chambers
� Choice of barrel length 26� � 32� with 5 choke tubes
� Ventilated ribs
� Red Front Bead
� American Walnut
� Straight grip or Pistol grip
� Winchester recoil pad
� Automatic Safety
� Gold plated single selective trigger
� Automatic Ejector
� Steel Shot Compatible
� Stock Dimensions
14 3/8� LOP
1 3/8� Drop at Comb
2 1/2� Drop at Heel
� Weight Approx. 6lb 5oz. with 28� barrels

In addition, I'd certainly like a closer look at the action, bolting, etc., as well as the barrels. In looking at the barrels of the photos Galazan sent, there is quite a gap at the muzzles between them, as if the receiver were somewhat large for the 20 gauge.

I recall when the RBL was introduced...there was a lot of fanfare about the action, leaf springs, intercepting sears, etc.
