I remember the original 16's were made by Kreighoff, then years later CSMC had 16 ga barrels available. When I spoke with Rich at CSMC today, He told me that the 16's were nearly completed, but they had just recieved orders for 4 more sets. And that he was looking at 16 ga barrels as we spoke. He further said that they anticipated that the 410 barrels would be out before the end of the year, and were the last of the Repro barrels to be produced. Then come the barrels for the original Parkers. Hopefully that means I've got sometime before deciding on a 28ga barrel for the VHE.
I'd not heard of poor fitting barrels, but I don't get out much. If the 410's come to me and are poor fitting or less than expected quality, I would likely return them.
It seems to me that for the most part the Buyers have been please with RBL's and CSMC in general. With the exception of wanting the guns alot faster than they arrived.
