Nice looking guns Researcher. I ordered my RBL12 at Vintagers. 32", BTFE,pistol grip and double triggers. Lou said it would be ready in 5 weeks. That would put it early November. I remembered all the threads about how much longer it took after the promised date to receive their guns. I didn't say any thing to him but I thought it was optimistic. But if they pull through it will be in time for duck season. I have not seen it in print and I forgot to ask. Does anyone know how long the forcing cones are in these 12's? Another thing I noticed while looking at the RBL's at vintagers was that they are putting 2 different blue jobs on these guns. One is a high polish and the other is a more satin finnish. He said they are not giving a choice as to how they are blued. I hope mine comes with that satin finnish. It looks nicer and is better for the field. What does your blueing look like on yours Researcher?
