I ordered my RBL 28 on July 8, after they had stopped production of components for these guns. I actually called to order a couple of butt pads, but when they told me the RBL 28 could be done in about three weeks, I fell for it. It's now late September and still no word on it, even though I have called a couple of times to follow up. My RBL 20 took 26 months.
I picked up my RBL 28ga/30" last Saturday (end of November). This is the gun that they said would be ready around August 1. The wait was irritating, but was worth it. I went with 2X wood on this one because I thought the 3x on my RBL 20 was not a good use of limited funds. I did ask for "nice wood" when I ordered the 28, and they obliged. One side is about 4X and the other is about 3X, and it looks better than the 20 gauge. Have not shot it yet, but am very pleased.
