Thanks Dave - have you ordered a letter on that CHE? It would be interesting to read who ordered it like that.

Dean- this is a very interesting post. Some ribs have a very dramatic taper it seems and others not so much. I wonder why and if there is any rhyme or reason? Thank you for posing this question!

Thanks Josh -
It seems we encounter the more "dramatic" or "fine" taper on the smaller bore guns or guns with longer barrels. Can we presume these ribs were designed with the intent to direct the eye to the bead/target? It would definitely be the case on guns with the ventilated rib - that, combined with the wedge cut into the ramp on a vent rib gun both seem to serve the same purpose. I'd like to see a lot more posts on this topic of various rib designs so we might be able to learn more. Which came first - the finely tapered ventilated rib, or the standard, matted, concave, finely tapered rib? .

Wow Edgar - that .219" is narrow!
What year were those guns made? .
