screws in top of the rib

[jerry serie]

I have a very nice condition Philly Fox Sterlingworth 20 GA, w/ 30" bls, ejectors, and 2 screws in the top rib. My question is whether I should have it repaired? What would be the cost? Who could do such work? Or, should I leave it the way it is? Your advice would be helpful.

Many Thanks........Jerry

For fox ribs, you have the great option of having John Hosford re-matte the rib for you. The holes can be repaired. The machine then shaves the rib down and puts freah matting on it. Then the rib blung just beeds to be re-done.

You could get away with the repairs for around $500. And end up with a rib rib that looks factory new.
