Guns with vent ribs

[B. Dudley]

I was looking at the list because i had a guy contact me yesterday asking about how many DHEs with vent ribs and 32” barrels may have been made. I told him the list showed 74 out of 377.
But then he told me his gun was in the 213,000 serial range being 1925, so it predated the list. His gun IS in the serialization book. But it is not listed as having the VR option. But i saw photos of it and it is a legit VR gun with the flat top frame.

So i told him that given what is not on the list, maybe 100 DHEs with 32” barrels is more in the ballpark.

I wonder how many 32 inch vent rib GHE's were produced. I have one in 16ga
