If the original barrels are 28", and the new tubes 34", the rib would be 6" short when re-laid. How is this handled? Does Briley fabricate a new rib section to extend the old? Does it match well? I know sleeving to a longer barrel length is done, but I've never quite understood how the rib issue is handled. Seems it wouldn't be too hard with a smooth rib as found on some British game guns, but matching to a Parker rib doesn't sound like an easy task.
