Not so typical GHE?

I have several times before posted photos of a 12ga CHE Bernard with Bernard ventilated rib. It is the only one I know of, but of course there could be more.

There are a number of damascus barreled guns with vent ribs. From what I have seen, the guns were originally made before vent ribs were available, then returned to Parker for addition of the rib when they began to be offered.

Doc Drew shows a rib milling machine above. The classic double with the most complex rib matting that I know of is the Lefever.

David, I would love to have a hard copy of that article but I can't get it off the site.

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.
