Vent Rib Guns

[James Brown]

If any one has the book American and British 410 Shotguns, on pages 62, 64 and 65 are nice pictures of a CHE 410 with vent rib. James

I’ve handled it and have pics at home, but I’m not at home right now.

Not willing to bet the farm on it Dean but I am pretty sure that is a solid rib gun. Single trigger, PG, and BTFE.

The AHE .410 Skeet has a solid rib. I guess the owner failed to check the "Vent Rib" space on the order sheet. He certainly checked everything else.

Is that the 410 that got the top award at the annual meeting in 2023 the same weekend as the Vintage Cup at Warrington ?

I’ll post photos of it later-

Did you have that gun displayed at Sanford before you sold it ?

Yes Sir it is one in the same. I do not recall the issue but there was a pic or 2 of it on the PP's article relating the Peoples Choice Award.

Randy, if the PCA was during one of the VGC tournaments at Ernie’s, the article would have been in a Winter issue as the Fall issue goes to press late July.

It was at a VGC but not Ernie's, in 2023 it was held at Warrington. I would suspect it was in the Fall Issue then as well...

I decided to take a peek rather than guess. It is actually in the Winter issue 2023 if anyone cares to see this little 410. Not much in the way of pics but ...
