Vent Rib question
 

Are the numbers of vent rib production in the Parker Story accurate?
The book says 18 in VHE, with 32" bbl. If accurate, I've owned two of the 18. Seems impossible..

I would say they are more of an approximation. I can't speak for your particular
gun but I have owned some that there were allegedly only a few produced and I've had two or three of them.

There are some missing books from the mid to late 20’s the Vent Rib was introduced in 1926 I think.
I have a 32” VHE Trap, I have seen two others so I don’t think 18 is the number, but they are not common.

Add one more VHE 32'' vent rib trap to the talley, Double triggers and a ball grip no less.

I have a 32" VHE trap here also. In fact I shot it today!

The ventilated rib on Parker Bros. shotguns was first introduced on trap guns in 1917.

I still need to confirm this one is correct. Might need to get a letter.

The prime vent rib period is the prime "missing book" period. I have owned or known of more PHE Traps than are listed in the books. The VHE Trap is a similar situation.

Pictures eould help. Does it have the flat top frame?

I also would also like to see some pics as I am considering buying one. Not sure about the stock looks thick and gawdy to me and is a monty carlo type.
