Kurt, just FYI but I had a well known Parker collector approach me after looking at my SC and asked me if I knew my vent rib was loose. He pointed out that where the vent rib starts at the front of the chamber area, the solder had released. You can pull up on the rib and feel it move. He said this was not uncommon on Parker SBT's. I did notice that a small spot of the bluing is worn off where the rib makes contact but never gave it a thought that there was a problem. Not structurely important so it's not worth fixing. Just thought you may want to check your's.
