Just buying a used takeoff rib and hoping it will be successfully installed on your gun and have it look right and salvage the matting is a big ask. Just to forewarn you. Every set of barrels was individually hand assembled and profiled.

The rib for a 28" barrel is 25 29/32" as the rib extension is 2 3/32". Can't figure out where you came up with 26 3/8".

Edgar, I came up with that measurement with my tape measure and my machinist calipers. How many of these old SXS have you restored I've worked on a few now and they are all a little different. Thanks

Brian, If I can find a take off rib from a small frame gun ( o or 1 frame) I will be the one hand assembling and profiling. So that being said know anyone with a Top rib. Thanks

I couldn't count the number of guns Ive restored, I'm 72 and been playing with them since I was 12. I have not, however, taken barrels apart with the intention of reassembling them. |

So Fred I'm guessing, but you are dealing with cut barrels, so why bother unless it has family history?
