What’s the definition of a flat topped frame?

The flat top of the vent rib goes back onto a flat topped frame. Which would have been made specifically for a vent rib gun. Vs a frame with a low concave rib that carries back to concave frame. If a vent rib was added it would transition down into the concave frame. This is how to tell if the gun was built from scratch with a VR or not.

It appears the rib is ramped and there is at least a slight concavity present from the doll’s head extension to the front part of the thumb latch.

A photo of the rib and top of the receiver would certainly help in the analysis.

I might be able to get photographs in a week or two. In the meantime, can anyone post photographs of what you describe?

Top picture: 0riginal vent rib left; added vent rib right.
Middle picture: Side view of original vent rib on top; added rib on bottom. Bottom picture: Breach face of original vent rib on right; added rib on left. Mind your lefts and rights.

John’s last picture is the most definitive.
How about ordering a research letter. THAT would be the last word on your gun. .
