I guess CSMC must have swept out the shop in prep for getting underway with the A-10, and stumbled over my RBL-12! It arrived at my local FFL this week. With the choices offered for the RBL-12 it took me until 4 December 2008, to place an order. My other RBLs have all been straight grip 4x stocks, with double triggers and slim forearms. For the RBL-12 I finally decided on the 32-inch barrels with the vent rib and a beavertail forearm. My initial reaction is the very low vent rib and the fairly short beavertail were wastes of money for me. This gun weighs in at 8 pounds 14.7 ounces. That is 7 ounces lighter then the Model 3200 tube set I shot for 12 NSSA Skeet seasons (1977 thru 88), but it seems really heavy now. Saturday it was very windy at the gun club and I could not make corrections once those heavy barrels were moving in a given direction. Today in still air things were much better, even in a round of doubles at all stations.
