It is a nice looking gun with my sunglasses on I would think a non glare finsh would be an improvement. I would prefer something more claasic gun myself. |

Thanks for your responses. Guess we'll need wait awhile and see just what happens. Sure hope that eventually we see 16 gauge and 28 gauge RBLs offered. Certainly if the 20's sell well you can bet we'll see more gauges offered. |

I called and emailed Tony Galazan when the RBL was launched.Told him I would like to order one in sixteen gauge. Of course he replied I could not get one. I asked him how many orders he needed to make a sixteen. He replied that is was not a matter of how many but that they were a small company and could not keep up with the demand for the 20 gauge. He told me it was unlikley thery would ever make a 16 but not out of the question and he would think about it. Make mine case colored,straight grip, DT,27" barrels Ic/Lm. Where do I send the money. |

Got the same exact info/response from Lou when I asked. I don't think we will see it happen.
If they could get the 20 ga up to regular availability, big IF there, they could always produce a set of 16 ga barrels as an option. Just a thought. |

Well, if they did that. You'd think you could just order one in 16 gauge.
I would have no use for a 2 barrel set in 16 and 20.
I could go for two guns, a 16 and a 28 |

Well to heck with Tony Galazan and his weeney 20 gauge RBL.
There are plenty of good old Foxes out there that can be upgraded with all of the bells and whistles for the same or less money and to my way of thinking you will end up with a superior gun in the end. |

I would certainly think about it, as I think the RBL is a great value, but I fear they would want a premium price to make them in 16ga. |
