Default 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

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.

Breech face without barrels front-on. Thanks Craig.

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.
