Hello. I am new to the forum. I have a Connecticut Shotgun Mfg. Co. RBL Launch side x side 20G Skeet/IC that I bought used. I called the company to see what year it was made. They told me it would cost me $80 and I passed. Any information is appreciated. Thanks. Mike

I ordered mine with straight grip 4X wood, double triggers, color case hardened, slim forearm on 12/28/2005 and got it 10/03/2007. My serial number is in the 15xx range. They came with choke tubes. I put the improved cylinder in the right barrel and swap between skeet in the left for skeet shooting and modified for hunting. I've never used the full choke tube.

Thanks Researcher. Mine has fixed chokes, straight grip, single trigger, & slim forend. I love it. It’s a 20 gauge. It came with 3 removable chokes…not sure why? Modified, Improved Modified and Full. CSMC trulock. I have no use for them. If you want them for cost to ship let me know. Text 703-401-7762 or email mikescharf@icloud.com.

The RBL 20 choke tubes don't have notches, they use a conical friction wrench. The muzzles of my RBLs, 20-gauge in the middle --
