I've known Tony for more than thirty years, I didn't know what was going to happen with the Repros, Winchester connection or not. Tony has a great reputation for building his own over under, the Fox, the Model 21. So, someone ordered an RBL, that was his first shotgun and it didn't get delivered by bird season. Give me a break. If I had ordered an RBL, I would have forgotten about it until I got notification of immenent delivery. If you don't think the 28 is going to fire when you pull the trigger, don't order one. No fuss, no muss.
