Much like a O/U barrel set, the muzzles don't meet. I have a RBL 16, it shoots fine choked IC/M and prefers Win. over Fiochi shells. More to do with stock fit I'm thinking! I do agree that the looks of it takes some getting used to.

As to reselling.
These are modern, recent production guns. The records should be easily accessed through CSMC if need be. I have the original order for mine, with options listed.
