Neri:
It seems to me that the simplest RAB scenario that works  with all the
different sources we have would be something like  this:

<big snip>


The only problem I see with this  scenario is in (2): how could
Regulus, a beginner DE, discover Voldemort's  secret and, furthermore,
penetrate all the cave defenses?

The most  likely answer to that is Kreacher. Perhaps Voldemort had
borrowed Kreacher  when he went to hide the locket in the cave, to do
all the menial work for  him (it wouldn't be like Lord Voldemort to do
that  himself).

Nikkalmati: 

There is a way to avoid the significant problems associated with how  RAB 
could penetrate the cave and retrieve the locket as a young 18-year-old  student. 
 He also would have to replace the potion and I am not even sure  why he 
would want to.  As discussed in an earlier thread, I prefer to  believe that Bella 
was given the job of placing the locket in the cave.  In  Spinner's End she 
says something like "he even trusted me with his  most precious . .  . " at 
which point she in interrupted.  I  think that is a clue she was in charge of the 
necklace.  RAB found out from  Bella, perhaps by accident, about the horcrux 
and made the switch of  necklaces at Grimauld Place.  Bella was carrying it in 
a bag or box  and did not look at it before she reached the cave, at which 
point she did not  notice the switch.  I prefer this scenario because it is 
simpler. RAB  put the necklace away and was killed before he could do anything 
with it or  Sirius was wrong about how RAB died and he died trying to open the  
necklace.  Grimauld Place was filled with generations of knickknacks and  dark 
trinkets, so it is no surprise no one noticed one necklace.
