Boy, these RBL owners are sure thin skinned. No body said they were ugly junk that I could see. I ordered one on the initial pass, then after seemingly years of getting the run around on delivery, cancelled it. I then bought one off one of the lists and shot it a bit. Then I sold it, for about what I paid for it. I shoot as most regulars know, mostly Lefevers, and Chief, they dont require any special care or feeding. Unless you call buying Flats of RST's instead of Walmart specials. My 1886 "H" had thousands of clays rounds through it before it broke a hammer. Mr. Buck Hamlin put it right for less than a 100 bucks. The RBL was an OK gun, but lacked that certain feel that some of us know...and love...
