Are you looking for any particular barrel steel inscription?
I couldn't count the number of guns Ive restored, I'm 72 and been playing with them since I was 12. I have not, however, taken barrels apart with the intention of reassembling them.

Edgar, I went to my shop this morning and you were right 2 3/32 on the rib extension. But I do not need a rib extension I need a full Top rib or a section of rib as long as its over 26 3/8" long .530 toward the breech .350 at the muzzle.
Is Mr. Merrington a member here I will look through the roster for him. Thanks for the feed back on my quest I appreciate it greatly. Thanks Fred
