There is little doubt that Connecticut Shotgun has had enough issues with their doubles to warrant all the criticism leveled at them. I have owned 5 RBL's; A Launch Edition 20 ga. configured the same way as all the rest I've owned: pg, btfe, sst, that I have zero problems with but is now for sale because I never shoot it. A 28 ga. w/28"bbls that was a dandy but I soon found I could not shoot it well, traded it back to CSM for what now I cannot remember.
I have owned 3 RBL12's, two of which I still have, all configured the same way as the previously mentioned guns. All had trigger issues, with the worst thing being a forend lug that came loose. Everything was fixed quickly and well.
The only A10 I owned was a 32" clays gun. Broke both mainsprings within a few hundred rounds of each other, but I must say I shot that gun hard-well over 4K rounds in a year's time. Shouldn't have mattered though. It's a gorgeous gun that got many compliments along the way and is sitting at the Buda Cabelas GL right now @ $10,999 lol.
http://www.gunsinternational.com/guns-fo...un_id=100680259I have very mixed feelings about these CSM guns. They are iconic in their own way, and are distinctive as well. I really don't have any regrets about any of them. Plenty of others do, but one thing is certain: there won't ever be anything offered here in the US again to rival them and what they represent, despite the prevailing circumstances...
