Vent Rib Guns

[6pt-Sika]

I’ve seen Parker vent rib guns in 12-16 and 20 . And I think a 28 . Am I correct on the 28 and were there any vent rib 410’s ? While I’m at it anyone ever see a factory Parker vent rib 10 ?

Well I looked in the fat cumbersome book of the two volume set at the table for vent rib guns and a saw a few 28’s several 410’s and TWO 10’s .

I have seen all three gauges in vent rib, but they are very scarce on the collector market.

Here are a couple of pics from the auction of Robert Stack's BHE 28-gauge --

and DHE .410-bore --

General Billy Mitchell’s BHE 10ga is a special vent rib 10ga. It’s probably the finest steel barreled big bore Parker extant -

I’ll post photos of it later-

There are 6 410’s in the book I believe but I have seen 2 other late Remington guns that were certainly original not in the records…so 8 for sure.

I seem to remmember discussing a 410 vent with you last year now that you mention it !
