I had a VHE 16 with double triggers and two sets of vent rib bbls and straight grip. Bobby

That gun probably spent some time at the pigeon rings.

How are the dimensions on that gun Steve? It looks very high by the look of how the stock comes off the action.

Yeah Brian, it's high, straighter than RT-90 at 1 5/16 x 1 5/16. Chose the least invasive route to start with a haircut, but it might need a shave as well. You know us FOX guys, we're ardent preservationists. Time will tell....

Steve - judging by the flat top of the frame I would say it was originally made with the ventilated rib.

Thanks, Dean. I thought the VR on doubles wasn't readily available until ca. 1926 give or take a few? Am I out to lunch on that? (Sadly, it wouldn't be the first time!) This is a 198,xxx gun shipped in 1922, are you thinking it was an early version? Also, the indent on the ramp is not the triangular shape I'm used to seeing. See pic below.
I told "Mister Roberts" she'll be coming to Hausmann's so you guys can set eyes on it. DHE VR 1.JPG
