Chuck thanks for your reply. I've used drill bits with TiN coating and sometimes they hold up, and at other times the coating is gone after one hole is drilled. The bores of my RBL-12 look nice and shiny, regular steel/chrome/silver look. They are very much different than the gold colored triggers, hammers, etc. on the RBL's. Frank

I AM SILVERS, NOT SLIVER = two different members. I'm in the northeast, the other member is in MT.
