Vent ribs

I see in the Parker Repro brochures it mentions the availabilty of a vent rib. Does anyone know if any actually got made?

Ventilated ribs have been brought up before, we discussed it here:

Ok. Thanks. I should have searched on the topic, but figured I would have to wade through too much on a “vent rib” search. But I likely could have just searched the repro sub-forum I suppose.

Looks like we dont really have a clear answer on if any did get made or not.

A friend recently told me that a participant at the Hamburg, NY gun show brought in a BHE 12 GA Repro with 30" barrels and vent rib for sale. He believes it did not sell. By the time our conversation ended he was really kicking himself for letting it go. We both will be looking for this one at future area shows.
"Dirty Harry" please confirm this sighting.

Bob, keep us informed. Maybe my BHE .410 vent rib repro may turn up too.

Here's another thread in which we discussed Parker Repro ventilated ribs . . . there very well may be a few of them floating around.
