No one noticed a thing till the damn thing hit the ground. He finished up without the rib and it did not seem to make a bit difference in his shooting. The gun is relatively new and has not been subject to a high volume of shells. I need a recommendation of a smith to reattach the rib properly and quickly. Would prefer someone in the southeast. He recognizes the gun will not be available for the opening of dove season, but would like to have back for some of the season or at the worst by Thanksgiving, for the second season.

My friend is opting to return the gun to Browning. They have told him 5 weeks. Based on what I have learned here, I have told him if he sees the gun before the end of the year, count himself lucky.

Unfortunately the St. Louis facility is not known for speed! Also the provenance of the gun will be maintained that way. Best, Dr. BILL
