RBL CSMC

Yes, the gun was shooting low. I can never remember which way is positive or negative. I had to shim the top of the butt plate out. I used washers behind the plate one at a time until I got the desired result.

Researcher -- Thanks for the pictures, those are beautiful guns, the middle one has that nice blonde wood that seems uncommon in American walnut.

I took the Turkish option that was offered on the 28-gauges.

I could have this wrong, yet I consider more pitch with the barrels further away from the wall when measuring. I kind of think that can make the gun mount higher plus slide up under recoil.

I love my RBL 12 gauge gun. Went to Connecticut Shotgun was measured for it, picked out an exhibition piece of wood, wood finish, fitted it with double triggers, a heel and toe plate checkered in between, and all built on a 16 gauge frame. 6.8 Lbs. 28" barrels with choke tubes.

I asked for the same thing andthey said they can't get it under 7.

Wow, prices have gone up a bit in four years. Mine was not cheap but not that much.

Guess I should have been more clear. They said it was impossible to build one under 7 lbs. I even copied your original thread when you bought it and they said nope can't do it. and it was for a 12 on a 16 frame. I don't remember what the quote was, but they next day they called me and said it would be 1000 more than yesterday. It was a great place to look around but all 3 times I tried to deal with them was like banging my head against the wall. And stupid me ,is considering trying to order a 20 rbl now

Kurt, this seem weird but in there defense no particular weight was discussed when I had my gun built. I only requested it as light as possible so they told me they would build it on a 16 gauge frame. But it is 6.8 Lbs as shipped by them.
