Parker VHE -Loose Vent Rib
 
My VHE vent rib is loose at the breach end at the doll head extension. It is also loose in a couple other places. Who would you recommend to remove and resolder the rib, and reblue the barrels? I live in Charlotte, NC and would like to know if someone in this area can perform this work?

Breck Gorman; I think he is in Savannah GA.

Resoldering work on a Parker vent rib is a very big job that many would not even want to get into.

Breck Gorman is your man. He’s in Beaufort, SC.

Breck fixed a rib that was popped up at the muzzle , wasn’t a vent rib but he did an excellent job .

Thanks for all the responses. I realize it is a big job and that it will take the right gunsmith. It is great to have access to a group that has the knowledge and experience to make recommendations like this. I will check with Breck Gorman. Thanks again.
