Not so typical GHE?

[Jeff K.]

My VHE vent-rib gun has no posts visible on the top of the rib. My DHE vent-rib gun shows every post.

Dave, I tried to get a good copy off the Google link and its not possible. BUT, I did search for it and it is available through the inter library loan system. There is a copy near me in the University of New Hampshire library, I suspect you can get it through your local library via the loan system or at a nearby college of engineering. You are looking for Volume 39.

All the Vent Rib guns I own are hand engraved on the rib. I have both VHE and GHE guns this way.

You are referring to the legend, I assume. If some say the matting was done "off the gun", then how is the matting done on the posts? Are the posts installed before the rib is put on the gun?

241,412 DHE splinter FE 12ga.

No pins. No inscription. Just a flat rib with wavy lines. Guess they gave up by that point.

[Bill Murphy]

I think the pins are there, just well integrated into the matting. I may be wrong, however.

My eyes ain't what they used to be. I'm fairly sure there is a gun there - that's all I'll promise.

Hi Greg, could you please post a picture of the barrel inscription of 241,412 ? Thanks

You mean on the top of the rib? There is none.

Which is what one would expect of a Remington era gun. I thought it was fairly evident in your picture.
