I had a 32" 12ga straight grip. I shot it for a few years with a few issues that were resolved by CSMC very quickly. I decided I am hopelessly addicted to Elsies, Foxes and Parkers. Sold it and moved on. I did by one for my son who is not into vintage guns yet and he loves his Rbl and shoots it very well. It is one of the 12's built on a small frame.

I have a few RBL's, including serial number 12!
They have been excellent guns for the money and a couple have truly astounding wood. I've hunted a good deal with a 20ga. single trigger, straight grip version and have done quite well with it.

I made a trade and came up with this 28 gauge RBL. What a dandy little gun. The gun was called used but is in mint condition. The only thing wrong was a crack in the bottom of the plastic butt plate and I called CSMC and have a new one coming for $20. The gun weighs in at 5lbs 12oz. I'm looking forward to next fall already to take it out after some early season Ringnecks.

Matt, Good luck with that beauty!

Hey Matt. That sure is a little beauty.We will have a few 28ga hunts next year. By the way, the meat is done Will talk tomorrow. Jim
