Default Vent ribs

Does anyone know off hand the height (average) height of Parker vent ribs?

Were they ever any different?

John, the vent ribs I have seen all look to me to be about the same height. I never bothered to measure them but they seem to be about 3/16" higher than the standard rib height.

Were the stocks on vent rib guns straighter to accommodate the higher rib?

A ventilated rib on a Parker shotgun was an option and generally installed on a specially ordered gun. The stock on such a gun was likely higher but such a gun, being specially ordered, was usually stocked to the shooter's requested dimensions.

Since this was never really answered in any detail to the OP question, I am now asking that the owners of any Factory vent rib guns would do a little homework and provide as much of the following as possible;

1. year/serial #(whatever suits you)
2. Grade
3. Gauge
4. Barrel Length
5. Barrel Composition
6. Choke - R/L
7. Ejectors/Extractors
8. Triggers(single or double)
9. Stock(straight or pistol grip
10. Butt(pad or ??)
11. Forend (beavertail or splinter)
12. ?? (whatever you want to provide)

I have some of these guns and I am interested in what else is out there. Depending on what kind of response i get I would like to write up and publish the results. You can post here or I would prefer that you send me a PM, email.

thank you
Patrick

I once owned 230760 a CHE 30" Double Trap with vent rib of course. The PGCA has no information on the gun other than it is one of only three 30" CHE Double Trap guns in this configuration.
