Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturing - CSMC - to build the new red label III

"Built by the highly-skilled craftsmen at one of the world's premier makers of fine firearms, Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturing Company (CSMC), the Red Label III marks a new era in Ruger shotgun excellence."


shocking.......

 

Never heard anything good about CSMC. A friend had one of their O/U. Nothing but problems and the customer service was horrible.
This could come back to bite Ruger in the toosh. For that price I would rather have a Browning or Beretta.

 

Good to see another company making guns. Rugers quality control was a bit erratic. Have you ever seen the wood finish and fit on some of the red labels? Barrel bluing varied batch to batch. Some triggers looked like they were carved from soap.

Connecticut seems to be supporting this site. I am all in until I see see otherwise.

Does anyone have a picture?

 

Anyone can say anything here. I here nothing but good stuff about Connecticut.

 

i think you missed the point.
csm guns are fine.
but the rrl isnt.
of all the guns to bring back, csm chose to help the rrl?
if they had maybe considered the 3200, it may have been better received.
just imo.

 

As if a Rugar Red Label was not bad enough on its own, add Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturing Company to the equation and you have a perfect storm of bad design and horrendous manufacturing. What could possibly go wrong?

 

My go to pigeon is Connecticut. I will wait to see the end product. Good call on Ruger I think.

 

I would take a Connecticut G1 over a Perazzi. You don't know what the quality will be with a Red Label but I had a great 20 with a 28 barrel.

 

a good indicator is how amny old rrl's do you still see out there.
another issue they will have to deal with is....are the changes obvious or will people flinch at buying used ones someday thinking its one of the old ones.
