Here's my last experience with loose ribs, my first was not much better.
After being ashured by Briley that they don't do shoddy work and relaying muzzleloader ribs was a common everyday job to them....
I sent a set of side by side muzzleloader barrels to Briley with instructions to 'remove and relay' the ribs and 'rebrown' and 'remove and re-color' the breech plugs.
After recieveing them they declared their best gunsmith could not see where the rib was loose ? A Sickening feeling came over me when he told me that.
It was very easliy visible to someone that knows what to look for...heck after I cleaned it I could blow water out the other side of the rib with an air hose...and they couldn't see it.
I just about lost it.
After they were finished they told me they couldn't remove the breech plugs ?
They jacked me up on the final price and didn't complete the job as ordered.
I was smartly told I could send it back.
After recieving my gun back from them I 'know' I have wasted about $800 bucks on a pretty brown job...with a propped up soldering job.
L.F.
