How can I tell if my RBL came with the assisted opener? I called CSMC but they had no specs for the gun as it was a shop build.

It's a spring loaded gizmo attached to the underside of the barrels in front of the flats. It will partially flip open the gun and make it a bit more difficult to close. I did not like mine and removed it (sold the gun later on).

Anybody got a picture?

I'm pretty sure CSMC shows the device on their website - try doing a search there, or else browsing in the RBL info.

If there' s a picture on CSMC's site I havent been able to find it. When I asked CSMC how do I tell, woman I talked to said " if you push the top lever and the gun opens by itself it has it" I guess all my sxs's have it. JW
