Thanks, imc. I'm just a hacker, but I enjoy shooting my guns. As to the rib matting..........mine was already cut when I bought it. This wasn't a set like you would get from Jason at Pumpkin Mtn., but was a very unusual situation. The barrel set was completely finished by Fox (Utica)..........rib was matted, chokes cut, barrels roll-stamped, and chambered to 2 3/4" with the ejectors already installed and the rims cut. The only things not done is that there were no beads installed, and the barrels had not been blued. They were bought from a private collector who offered them to me years ago.
I like flat-topped checkering on the guns originally done that way, but also like nicely pointed up diamonds where they are apropos.
Thanks for the posts, SRH
