I have had very good results with the method explained. The rib does not always need to be removed and relayed, although that is required sometimes. Relay and reblue is very exspensive and not all guns warrent this type of repair. It depends on what caused it originally and what kind of shape the majority of the joint is in. A small loose spot can often be fixed with out the full monty. Each case is an individual and must be judged as such. Good luck,
Steve
