Solid rib installation? #637895 11/22/2023 10:22 PM

Greg McReynolds	Is anyone doing solid rib installations any longer? I contacted Simmons and apparently they no longer do solid ribs.

gunmaker	Originally Posted by John Roberts Just checked with them on a solid rib for my Ithaca 37. $525. Said it's a ton of work and I believe it. But no thanks. JR Seems pretty inexpensive...you pay more per hour for your lawn guy. The discussions surrounding the disappearance or depreciation of talent capable of fine work always interest me.

Brittany Man	+1 on gunmakers comments. I prefer solid ribs on field guns to vent ribs & I don't understand why they fell out of favor.

eightbore	If you are looking for elegance, a Boss rib may be a less expensive alternative. The number of hours expended should be way less.

John Roberts	Mr. Little, I have no beef with the fee CNY gets for their work. I was thinking along the lines of $300-$350 for a solid rib on a single barrel. It is just not a practical thing to do for a gun that is not worth much more than the work I was interested in. I would gladly pay for their work if I wanted it badly enough. But thanks for your contribution to the discussion. JR

Perhaps a move to better balance or lighter weight. The first is subjective, of course, but the latter is not. Or it could be just a fashion issue - which is more prevalent in firearms than I think we realize. A solid rib can be hollowed out from underneath and be made pretty light. Not so long ago I made a 34” rib(4.3oz) for a Parker sleeving job that weighed several ounces less than the factory 28” rib(7oz). Workholding is difficult and expenses high of course.
