How unusual is a flat top rib on a TL 10ga Grade 4 Dam
 

How unusual are flat top ribs on a Top Lever Hammer guns. This is a Grade 4 10ga/32 with Damascus barrels on a #3 frame. Some target shooter specified a flat top rib correct?? Thanks
Guess I will send for a letter.

sounds like a interesting question hope you find the answer to it...charlie

Not sure how unusual but certainly not very common. My DHE 20, 32" has one as did an early BHE damascus which I foolishly let go.

I have seen a flat rib hammer gun once. It was a 16g if I recall. But do not remember ghe grade or if it was a Top action or a lifter. I am pretty sure it was a top action since I think the rib was matted.

A flat top rib on any Parker hammer gun is exceptionally rare.

Would love to see pictures and a picture of the breech face too.

The bottom gun is the Grade 4

Dean what shot would you like?? Craig

Breech face without barrels front-on. Thanks Craig.

Pictures. Maybe files flat??

Thanks Craig. I was trying to see if a hammer gun had, like hammerless guns with either a vent rib of a flat rib, a flat top breech across the tops of the bolsters. Apparently the hammer guns didn't have that feature.
