Seems like a really tall rib,(made from two differant steels in the cross section view ?).What is the drop at heel?

That is one sweet shotgun Doug. The only thing I wouldn't care for is the LOP. I like an even 14'. Anything longer gets hooked in my shirt or hunting vest. For me the ejectors would be an added plus.

I've been hunting with the 20 ga. S&W version of this shotgun for the past few years, and am very pleased with it. Zero problems.

oldmanriver:

Double barrel shotguns generally have soldered upper and lower ribs between the barrels, the contrast you are seeing is the solder versus the steel......

The rib follows the same designed contour as it leaves the receiver.....they are raised and not swamped ribs on these guns.....hope this helps.......




Best,


Doug

Doug;
Do these guns have Chopper Lump bbls. It would appear the rib may be hollowed out for weight reduction & either has a plug at the breech end or perhaps a projection from the chopper lump (if used) for the rib to set on. I had not noticed it until the question about it being two pieced was asked, but that is an unusual solder line for a rib.

The rib does look strange.

Is that the gauge stamped on the sides of the barrel ?

That raised level rib is one of the best features of this gun. I highly prefer it to a swamped rib, which is an abomination on a nice sxs. The RBLs should have had this type rib.
