I like the dolls head rib and would be sad to see it dropped. Sad but not heart broken. But if you are using CNC I would like a dolls head rib if possible. They just look so right on a fine gun. Just like paper hulls look right in a double gun.

The chrome bores are one thing that I do not want or need. In fact, that would almost kill it for me. I have never liked them even though I rarely change choke or have the forcing cones reamed. Mono block barrels can be made to very high standards and if used here would I am sure be a perfect as possilbe.

Soulds like you are heading for a reciever that could range from 12-16-20 bore with a possible 28 barrel set. That is about as flexible gun platform as you could have. Wood selected, first thousand saved, interest getting higher all the time.
