Tuesday Morning Treat

I think I just have the two pictures of it, but maybe you can see all of the gun next month, Larry. Should be good.

I'm planning an early season hunt to southwestern North Dakota for fall 2010. Out near the Theodore Roosevelt Nat'l Grasslands, along the Cannonball River. Lots of birds, sharptails, huns, buttes, river valleys, and very little hunting pressure. I'm trying to plan an early season smallmouth bass fishing trip ( fly rod) into the Minnesota Boundary Waters for some buddies, a mid summer one to the same for a BSA trip, then late July on staff at the Nat'l BSA Jamboree in Virginia, then early fall to NoDak, mid fall to SoDak, early winter to KS. I'd like to bicycle across Kansas again but don't know how that will fit it. Then trying to work also.

Is the vent rib original to the gun or was it added later? Seems to me that Jack P has/had a DH 12 with Damascuss bbls and rib but that the rib was added later. I'm not sure on the production dates of the vent rib in comparison with the mfg dates of Bernard/Damascuss bbls. All my vent rib guns are fluid steel.
