Phil, that might be a great way to put your old gun back to work if the barrel doesn't work for you now and if economical.

I know that Simmons Gun Specialities in Olathe KS has been known for barrel monobloc sleeving. I saw them making ribs that look right to me, so maybe they could make you a full length rib. Simmons is under new management , 913 782 3131. They have done a lot of monobloc barrels for Browning Superposed guns.

Good luck with your project. I called Lloyds Saddlery this morning and placed an order for a hand tooled lace on butt pad. I have a nice old H H Heiser VLA fully tooled holster for a Colt SAA and love the oak leaf carving, and they can do that on a lace on pad for one of my old beater Parkers . Thanks for the heads up.
