Today, I spoke with "CAROL, The Countess of RBL's" about deliveries. She said they are finishing up and shipping guns ordered in Noember 2005. Soon, they will start on the December 2005 orders, including mine. Supposedly, they usually get shipped one or two months later.

If all stays on course, I should probably receive my RBL about Memorial Day. That is also opening day of squirrel season in Missouri, so perhaps its initiation may be with fur instead of feathers.
