Bill, Your correct about the RBL frame not being cast. The action frame's are machined out of a solid billet.
From what I can tell the serial numbers are assigned when a particular batch is put into production. This doesn't mean they will be delivered in order. Guns with higher serial #'s can be delivered before ones with lower numbers. Case in point, I was seeing numbers in the high 300's being delivered with order dates weeks after mine and then when I got mine it was #354
From what I have seen reported they are still working on the first four to six weeks of guns ordered back in September/October 2005 I imagine that the most orders are in that group and as soon as they are cleared out you will see things speed up. I have not seen one posted yet but they should be over # 400 by now.
