I don't think you would be guaranteed that after relaying a rib that the barrels would ring. Its an indicator not a certainty that there may be a rib issue. I've had barrels that wouldn't ring but by raising the extractor or cleaning up a gummy extractor the barrels would then ring.
Will be interested to hear from someone who has relaid a number of bbl sets whether or not they always ring afterwards. Erick |

If the ribs are tight and it had not been hot blued I would never worry about it. Just my opinion. I rust blued three Sterlingworths last year and they all leaked like a sieve, but the ribs were tight. Just helped me get the moisture out.
The only one I've had the ribs relaid was a Fox A that someone hot blued and when you put air to it, smoke came out everywhere, and it would still ring. I had Keith Kearcher do it for me with the understanding to just relay the ribs and I would take it from there. Which meant I had to get all the excess solder off and then rust blue. I was happy with the work. |

Yes, not ringing is not an absolute sign that the ribs are loose. But, I can say that I have not had a set that sounded bad and have the ribs not be loose.
Typically when ribs are completely stripped and relayed, the barrels will ring great afterwards.

what is the main source for such a build up of rust? esp is the ribs are not loose with any signs of separation etc.
is it moisture over time/ lubricants/ etc? Do we see this with modern ribs relaying? Just trying to future my knowledge. |

On this one I suspect a past repair with acid flux.

That crud is not all rust. That is how most older Parker barrels look when they are taken apart.
