After ordering my RBL in late December and paying in full, it arrived two weeks ago. I couldn't be more pleased. I've posted a few photos below. It's a 26 inch, splinter forend, straight stock with double triggers and exhibition wood. It weighs a little more than seven pounds.

Fanbtastic looking gun, I personally would though ask them to change the stock - look at the grain running across the grip. Might be OK because it has a stock bolt, but imho its an accident waiting to happen...
please don't take this the wrong way - just ignore me - but its the 1st thing I look for in a new gun...

What holds the long trigger guard tang tight to wood on the RBL? Does the top tang screw (pin) thread into the t.g. tang?
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Beautiful gun. Have you shot it? I don't think you have a chance of the stock breaking. The wrist is big and they have a very special way of pressure treating the wood on the RBL’s, which makes them not brittle. If by chance you do, my friend was in a car accident with his model 21 even though it was his fault they fixed his stock for free. I personally don't own a gun but I though that was quite noble. -Cowboy-

Nice!!! and at 7lbs., the perfect weight for a 12 gauge light enough to carry comfortably all day yet heavy enough to absorb the recoil!!!
I think these are the new American classics!!

Very nice. I just got mine in last week. 32". Straight grip, splinter and 4X wood. 2 triggers of course. I had asked for 8 lbs but it came in at 8 lbs, 6 oz. But it seems to work quite well and handles good on sporting clays. No pictures yet but I'll try and get those soon. Triggers are great. I think it will make a really nice sporting clays gun.

Krull, I would like to see your combination with vent rib. The weight is just about perfect. Did you special order the hard butt? We would all like to see pictures of your 4X wood.

I got mine last Friday. 30", double trigger, assisted opening, 2x standard walnut. Which by the way is much better than 2x walnut IMHO. Very nice feather on both sides and a killer translucent feather on the top of the comb. Unfortunately, the ejector malfunctioned after 8 shots and it is now in transit back to CSMC for repairs. Really dampened my enthusiasm for the gun. I was going to post photos and do a write-up for the board, but I'm not sure I'm going to to it now.
