In response to Shouryu--

The original Buffet Prestige was the Prestige RC with the RC bore. Beginning
in the mid-80's, Buffet started making the R-13 Prestige. I agree with Robert
in his comments. I bought my set of RC Prestige in June 1985, and replaced a
very good set of R-13s. I also had an R-13 Prestige compliments of the US Air
Force (661st AF Band) to use. There was and still is no comparison between
the RC Prestige and ANY R-13.
