Default SC Rib

As can be seen in the photos, the vent rib on my SC has separated near the breach end. It had a screw with a slotted head that was lost while shooting. This was obviously an after market fix. Any suggestions on the easiest fix now? JBWeld?

Mine had a similar issue and now has a poor repair. I can live with it as is for the moment, but I agree with Dean that any repair should be done right.

Doing it the right way costs less in the long run anyway.

Time is the issue. But I guess I'm just going to have to bite the bullet.

Breck Gorman is now in Beaufort. Obviously, I can't speak for him now, but his turnaround time was fast by gun standards. He might be able to help

I sent it the fore arm off for repair. And the SB was out of commission for a while. I'll just have to do the same with the SC barrel.

Clean the screw hole with alcohol, install a new screw with blue loctite on the threads. Thats likely what a gunsmith would do.
