Note the triangular piece extending to the front. When cut back to where the rib is flat on the bottom there is a space which was filled on the gun in question.


Very nice description and pictorial of the rib and how it extends at what would be the factory barrel end. It is obvious to me now that the barrel has been cut. I knew I came to the right location! Thanks to everyone. As mentioned the gun in question is for sale on-line. My intention is not to place an ad but to gather some information. If anyone is intersted please contact me and I can forward a link to the auction offline. Thanks again, Jim My email is designri@cox.net
