[Milsurplus] RBB receiver

[George Babits]

I've had a couple of the pairs (RBB & C) over the years and wish that I had 
kept at least the RBB.

Has anyone ever ran comparisons between the RBB & RBC and the RBM/RBS 
receivers?  They are about 1/3 the size and weight.  I've got a couple of 
them and have been toying with trying to get them going.  Just don't know 
what kind of performance to expect from them.
