Boy that was the thing a while back to buy a new gun and send it right off to Simmons. I have a 1940s 12 gauge full choke with a Simmons rib that is definitely my go to trap gun. I guess it shoots about 70/30 high and I love to float the birds on it . There is also something about it that I think just smashes clay birds.
The factory ribs are nice too. To verify factory one will see the proof mark offset to the left side near the choke roll mark because the factory rib sits where the mark normall is.
