When I ordered it I simply requested "as light as possible" along with a non-automatic safety on the order form. It killed a pheasant again yesterday.

Well, we're on page three and no one has given us firing pin separation figures for the three frames. And what's this millimeter business? Doesn't anyone own a common old Starrett vernier caliper any more? Can't we get to the bottom of the question about whether the big 12 and the little 12 have the same firing pin separation? How about the question about whether the little 12 and the 16 have the same or different firing pin separations? Before this thread, I had no idea that a light 12 was one of the options. Live and learn. Sure wish I knew that Dave was selling the "horse".

Eightbore,

In my post in this thread, which I addressed to you to answer your question, I stated that the firing pins are definately different distances. I could not measure them since I was away from home at the time. For obvious reasons I did not reveal that fact. Now that I have returned I will try to find time to measure tomorrow and post.

Mark

Eightbore,

The firing pin seperation for the 16Ga. is 1.075" center to center according to my eye and a Mitutoyo caliper. Have to wait for Mark for the 12Ga.

As I stated above the firing pin separation on the big 12ga is 1.182 center to center.

The firing pin center-to-center measurement on my RBL-16 and my RBL-12 light is 1 5/64 inch, which according to my calculator is 1.078".

When did a 7# 12ga become a light weight? A 7# 12ga with a wrist like Hillery's thiegh is hardly my idea of a trim light weight field gun.

Tracey,

A 7# 12ga would be an average weight, a 6# 8oz 12Ga. would be a light weight. Most American classic 12Ga. SxS field guns will be very close to 7#, plus or minus a ounce or two.

Define in your terms a trim, light weight field gun in a 12 Ga. SxS. Also please post up some examples of them with actual weights, not advertised weights.

I shudder to think of Hillary's thighs or any other parts! No part of an RBL is that bad!

Chief,

Sauer 28in 6#7oz

Pedro Gorasable 28in 6#5oz

Webly&Scott 30in 6#8oz

Lewis 26in 6# even

All with nice trim wrist, well balenced and all for less money than an RBL.
