Yes, that rib sure is a curiosity. It looks like a milled rib like Ithaca used on their early VR guns.
But there are no photos of the top of it or closer views to try and draw any further conclusions.
The serial number stampings on the barrels and forend look a little suspect as if if they are factory or not. They dont match the frame which we know.
