The fit of wood to frame is very good on this gun and photos of others recently posted. Someone recently wrote on another board of visiting CSMC to look at the RBL before ordering, and noting that the barrel engraving on current production guns is different from that on the prototype advertised guns and early production guns received by customers who asked for it. These photos confirm that poster's observation. He personally didn't like the current barrel engraving and asked that it not be done on his gun. I'm not sure yet if I'd like it better without.

These photos confirm that poster's observation. Interesting. Mine is a very low 200's gun delivered about 6 weeks ago. My barrel engraving is EXACTLY as shown in the original brochure. This one seems to be the same engraving but it's set forward about 1/4" or so with a blank area behind it. Mark A sailor's creed - "If you can't tie good knots, tie lots of 'em."

Mine is marked in both places (again, very low 200's) but much smaller than Glocksig's under the lever. Easy to miss if you don't look closely.

Mine is an early 2 digit gun and it isn't there. Does have the number on the forend lug on the barrels but not on the forend that I can find. CB

Could you put a tape around the wrist just behind the tang and give us a circumference reading? It may just be the photos, but they all look like a fat wrist to me. Thanks Pete
