I just looked at the website for CSM. I didn't see the word "...now..", but they did use "...available..." That statement in red has been up there for quite a while. When I spoke to them, they didn't have any "available" at that time.

I guess I don't get the difference between "available" and "available now" (or available in 10 years from now)
 ; I guess I'll call them and see what's going on. Boy, there sure are some things I don't like about CSMC!

Well, Chuck, I called. The website ad specifically says "now available." I called and the lady that answered said they have been shipping them out as they are finished, but she didn't know which ones or how many. She just kept saying to send my $500 deposit! I'm really not sure I believe her. You'd think someone on this forum would have received a set by now...

I recall Tony telling me at SCI that the 16's would be first and I expect if any were shipped they were 16ga.

Bill, in your conversation with Tony were any of our concerns of the .410 barrels brought up or discussed?

Yes--I have 3 sets on order. He told me they will be the most difficult to make and will be LAST in production. I could not pin him down, but the distinct impression I got was what has been alluded to before in this or other threads- about a year! Nothing we can say or do will change this, in my opinion. So--I've put them out of my mind and know that someday--I'll have a surprise package at my doorstep! I'm confident they will be worth the wait. With RBL production finished, I'm sure the new A-10 is keeping his guys busy. I'm waiting for one of those myself--a small frame 20/28 combo. I had not intended on buying one of those until I handled the small frame guns in Vegas. I waited patiently through the RBL saga owned numerous 20's a 16 and at the end of it all, found the 28 RBL to be the jewel of the RBL's and have 2 of those that are keepers. The rest are gone. Well--there you have it--probably more then you wanted to now...BD

Bill, I probably should have been more specific when I asked you the question regarding the concerns with the .410 barrel sets Tony is going to produce. I wasn't referring to when they will be built, but rather the reservations as to the fitting of our existing gun's 28-ga. forend wood around the .410 barrels, the doll's head fit and how much additional weight these .410 barrels will add.

Ok--now I got it. I discussed some of those points with Tony/Lou previously. My understanding is the the barrel taper will be structured to deal with the 28 ga. forend on the OO frame. The splinter should be no problem. The beavertail I'm not certain about. I could foresee a very slight gap, but I'm not certain and did not address that. My guns have splinters. I sold my only BT 28 repro.I did not talk about the dolls head. I'm hoping for a good fit. I'd expect the barrels to weigh 6-8oz more then the 28's. This would give you about a 6lb 410 which is a good shooting weight with 28" barrels. If the barrels are not satisfactory, I'll return them for a refund.
