Vent Rib 16
There are no marks at all on the rib. It looks like it is slid over the posts and pinned near the receiver. Sounds like it is after market. Can you tell me the grade and approimate value as it is?

ok - I am not trying to be wise - but that is an odd barrel length- are you maybe pulling a tape too tight, one where the end tab rivets are worn? unless some one tried to cut t0 28" and missed.
the checkered panels may well hide a dowell covering a fix of a crack, not un common. but it seems like a nice find.

Gary,
Okay, thanks for the photos. How long are the choke constrictions? Mark

I will remeasure the barrels and take some more pics. What do you want to see the most.

Simmons made or makes a rib that is mounted on top of the original rib. The rib posts don't look like Simmons but they are surely aftermarket. They look more like Moneymaker rib posts. To try to remove this nice rib to restore originality may be opening a can of worms. Don't worry about the barrel length. Just measure the chokes and bores

Here are some more pictures. I think the chokes are about 1 1/4 long. I measure them at .633 to .637 with various devices but both seem to be the same. I believe Simmons marked the side of their ribs with their name. I do not see any markings on the Vent Rib and also cannot see any under the rib between the posts so the Parker Bros may be marked under the receiver end of the vent rib.
The pad as I mentioned has Pat applied for and Patent Pending so it is a pretty old White Line. There also is no sign of any cracks emanating from the receiver into the stock. Maybe the extra checkering was ordered that way. The barrel measures a little shorter with a yardstick. None of this is really important except for my edification. I will never sell this gun, when I hold it I feel like Nash Buckingham or Chas Askins. Thank you for all your information. |
