I ordered mine at the Vintagers and was told 5 weeks to be delivered. I received it in 6 weeks so am very happy about that. The rib is below the top of the muzzles and the bead on mine is a very flat topped sphere. I am thinking about replacing the bead with something more visible. One thing you will notice about the barrels, at least on my 32 inchers is they are wide. They look like 10 gauge barrels. They do not appear to touch at the muzzles. This may be due to the possibility of using extended choke tubes or the way they regulate them. Mine was ordered as double triggers,PG,BTF and standard wood. I was very impressed by the wood expecting some straight grained walnut but got a nice crotch grained forend and a buttstock with alot of figure on one side. It is muzzle heavy but supposedly there is a way to adjust it in the buttstock and I will attempt to ballance it better to my likeing later. I am doing well with it on the range and in the field. Did a double on Canadiens and a single yesterday. The first day out of 3 outings that I got a shot at waterfoul. I am very happy with my RBL. It may be to late to order one so I would not delay calling. As in I would call tommorrow if you want one. I don't think it would take you that long to get it since they want to end this project and shift to the A10.
