That's good to hear Milt. My Launch RBL is NIB. I would hate to take it out and it not preform!

I bought two Revelations when they were first introduced. Little issues, like bluing salts leaking from the ribs and a live ejector after some use were quickly fixed by CSM.

I love my RBL that I had built for me. A 12 gauge built on a 16 gauge frame with choke tubes to my exact measurements. My go to clays gun.

I love my RBL’s. My 20 gauge is one of my main go to guns for quail. The only complaint is the checkering is very dark and I think with just a little extra help the wood grain would really pop on this gun.
I also have an A10 that Chris Dawe up graded the checkering on thats stunning and shoots fantastic.

I think the checkering on the RBL's is somehow done with a laser, and as a result, "burns" the wood. Anyone else heard that?

John you are correct. I had a trip to Hartford right after I recieved the RBL and they recut by hand. It cleaned up the checkering and it did help but someday I will have the wood stripped, refinished and recheckered with an upgrade pattern.
