Lifetime Warranty---are you sure about that?

I wanted an RBL .410 but I got tired of waiting and bought an Ugartechea, AOC/SG. Nice gun, but I'd rather have an RBL with 30" barrels, M/F or IM/F.

Yes, all RBL's come with a lifetime warranty. If it breaks, they hold it up to the light and say "Yep, that was it's lifetime!'

I hope you guys aren't too sick of me constantly trotting out photos of my semi-matched pair of RBL Launch guns, but this seems like a good thread to do it in and I like them, so here goes . . .

I got an RBL 28 and really like it. 5 pounds 14 oz, 28 inch barrels, double triggers, SG, self openner, 3x wood with a semi-beavertail. Great triggers and a joy to carry and shoot. I shoot it well, up in the high teens and low 20s at skeet--and I am not a skeet shooter.

It is made to shoot any type of shot, although for me and a 28 bore that wasn't a consideration.

Made in the US, a semi custom 28 bore SxS for less than $5k? I had a UK trained gunsmith look it over and bend the stock to fit and he was impressed with the quality on the inside of the gun as well as on the outside.

It is not an AA Brown or a Purdey or a Churchill, but for less than $5k its a real nice gun.

Best,

'Course it goes without sayin' that Ted knows better, has standards and all, but rubes like Rueben James and me will have to suffer carryin' 6 lbs. 10 oz. chasin' after them pheasants ... tho' ma arms gets so tired from luggin' that load I can't hardly raise one up to pick ma nose.

GregSY seems to recall that the CSMC warranty is in fact a meager 6 months.

After shooting nine and ten pound clay guns a 6-10 16 seems down right light weight. I had two RBL's on order and canceled them due to long wait and other guns needed to be bought. A bargin is a bad thing to miss. Bought three RBL's used later. One son loves his other son not that impresses. To him a K-80 is all he needs. My RBL gets very little use due to me having too many other choices. Nice gun for the money and had no problems with any of mine. For the cost I think they are a great value.

Well, Chas, I don't know about any 16 gauge standards, or knowing better, but, at that weight, I can carry a 12, you know? An ounce and 1/8th work even better in the bigger gun, according to the Rosters of the world.

Right?

I always thought that a 16 was such a pleasant performer with an ounce of shot and at 6 lbs and maybe a few ounces that it wasn't really necessary to try to turn it into a 12. But, you know, whatever floats your boat.

Hey, maybe I'll catch you at a wife carrying contest someday. The hot tip, believe it or not, isn't working out a bunch with a fat one-it's showing up with a really little one.

Just so you know...

Best,
Ted

I dunno ol' Tedster, seems to me a real man wouldn't sweat it over a couple ounces. Let me guess - when you get hungry, you announce that you 'could really go for a Cobb Salad!'
