The "almost never" is what makes me think they waited. Why chance it. Maybe on a Parker it would be a rare occurrence, but not other guns. And if every time I had to relay the ribs due to voids, I would never buy another late Fox gun. It is just the way they were.
In fact if you put air into the weep hole, one will be surprised where barrels leak. Yet the ribs are solid for the most part.
So why did Remington start doing it? Maybe their QC was not as good as before the acquisition? Or maybe they had learned something?
