Gee .... Bob. That would also put them in the same boat as the thousands of us who own unique, hand made guns from the UK, Germany, etc. A quality gun maker can build almost any part to repair one of these guns. I have no doubt they will handle an RBL just as effectively 5-10-or 50 years from now. What I find most amusing is reading the ever more obsessive criticism from those who did not or will not order an RBL. You certainly need not worry about justifying such a decision to those of us who did. I think I'll stop reading RBL threads and simply enjoy a nicely made, American, 20 bore SxS. All the best, Joe
