On a visit to CSMC a couple of weeks ago Lou told me that the "RBL" will continue but it would be something totally different. I had many questions for Lou's comment but to all of my questions Lou would answer "I don't know yet". I am sure that there will be all kinds of speculation as to where they are going next. For what ever this is worth Lou showed me what was supposed to be the frame casting for the RBL. When I conpared it the the finished frame I asked him why they started with a casting that was so large just to machine away all of this material. Typical Lou, "I don't know". A few minutes later hes brought out a different casting that was much closer to the finished frame size. He took the larger frame back into the shop and said that I was not supposed to see that. Maybe the next RBL is going to be a 10-ga. water fouler. The frame casting I saw was plenty big enough for a 10-ga.
