How many Vent rib guns made

[John Truitt]

Mr. Murphy,

I counted 377 listed in TPS. However I used to own one that is not listed and I know of two 34" vent rib guns not listed.
My guess would be somewhere between 500 to 750 vent rib guns total.

What do you think?

I don't have a clue. I'm not sure that vent ribs were reliably mentioned in the stock book era, post 1919. If they weren't reliably mentioned in the stock books, all bets are off. We have the stock book copies. We could do the research if we were allowed to do so.
