The narrowest front end of a tapered rib I have seen is less than .250. It is a 32" 12 gauge barrel. I have the build card for that gun, with special features that cover both sides of the card, but no sign of a request for a tapered rib. Pictures of the build card and the gun is on page 51 of the Double Gun Journal, Volume 8, Issue 1. By the way, a high flat solid rib gun is pictured in The Parker Story, probably in the Grades section under C Grades. I lived with that wonderful gun in the showcase at The Gentleman Hunter store for months and didn't bite the bullet.
