I believe ordinarily, the rib was roll stamped prior to going on the gun.

There is a great deal of information In George Madis' about Winchester roll stamps. They employed several engravers whose only job was engraving the roll dies. That had to have been a tedious job, since the letters, in reverse, were the high points and the balance was removed.
