Capt. Chris--

Thinking that maybe Rhett chose the Mini because the RKS had never done a Mini of any sort, and the shop at the time probably did not envision making any more miniature models. That would make the RKS Mini somewhat more collectible.

Having both versions, a collector who bought the Mini from Rhett might like to have the Model 28 numbered like their Mini....

Come to think about it, as a user, the Mini would be similar to the Triatheletes that are sometimes customized by adding handles and guards.
