Variations in ribs

[John Havard]

Ed, did either of your PGCA letters report that flat ribs were specified by the purchaser?

Dean or John, do either of you have a photo of a flat raised rib? That must be up there quite high!

[Ed Blake]

John, my gun is not in the book, or are records available. It's one of those guns around 1900 for which the records are lost. It's safe to say the flat rib was a special order. The gun is a #2 frame, but has a slim grip and is about 7.5 lbs.

I will take pics of mine tonight and post.
This is a special custom order rib. In fact the whole gun was custom in many ways.
Its a 34" rasied flat rib that tapers/ narrows towards the muzzle.
