Mr. Nelson:
I'd send the barrels to Kirk Merrington:
Merringtongun.com
Kirk can sometimes re-attach a rib without a complete re-lay. But it takes an expert to evaluate your situation. In either case, there is no one in the US better to assess the job. And... some of the ribs on Japanese guns are brazed on. Kirk will know. He can also assist with refinish if necessary.
