Another tread got me to thinking.
Oh Oh!
That never ends good.
Anyway, what do you think lead to the demise of the solid matted rib on hunting shotguns?
My old Browning A5 has always wore them on both IC and Full choke barrels.
I love them.
Flat sighting plain of a vent rib.
But no mud & water & blood stuck under a vent rib in the duck blind.
Or weed stems & seeds & blood stuck under them in the upland game bird fields.
You get home and wipe them down and you are done till the next time!
Vent ribs, not so much!
They were way too good to go the way of to DoDo bird on hunting shotguns.
Why, Oh Why did they become extinct on modern guns?
