I've had two top ribs to come loose from shooting, a Perazzi and a Valmet, both of which are were soft soldered when built. I lost no sleep over having to have either one relaid. My sky didn't fall, it didn't even rain. I consider it a cost of doing business.

BTW, never have had a bottom or side rib to come loose. Hmmm........

Graybeard,

Re the one piece Ideal rib. One English trained gunsmith dealing with his first Ideal repair called it "the cleverest thing the French ever invented". It saved him a lot of fitting and fiddling with clamps and wedges.

What is their procedure for regulation of the barrels, before finishing off?

"I can understand your disappointment in not have the knowledge and ability to post comments by gunsmiths."

Modesty and forum standards, not lack of (anatomical) knowledge held me from repeating some of the phrases. LOL

Ted is the resident expert in French guns, perhaps he knows how the I beam ribs were fitted before soldering atthe factory.

I have seen the "I" ribs off the guns during repairs. The barrels grip the "I" beam rib pretty firmly along the whole length and need light clamping only at the muzzles during soldering. The process looked much easier and was faster than that used in two rib relaying.

The ribs I saw being relaid were all swamped ribs sitting pretty low between the barrels. I do not know if Manufrance made "I" ribs in any other shape other than swamped for the Ideal.

[/quote] However, I had my Galazan Inverness made without a rib because the gun looked so much like a Boss[/quote]
The csmc O/Us with the Italian Brecia(sp?) looking actions all have what look to me like an "I" beam mid rib. This doesn't apply to the Christian Hunter and I haven't looked closely at an A10. I know this is a little off topic but the one piece mid rib was brought up in conversation, and I've never heard it mentioned before regarding the csmc guns.
BTW I understand you ordered yours without a top rib.
