An elderly gentleman (born 1922) has had me helping him finally get rid of some guns. He’s a Winchester lover and had 4 pre 50’s 1894’s and now he dropped off this 1887. It’s a nice shotgun, 12ga, but it has a ribbed barrel. The barrel is Damascus, but I’ve never seen one with a rib. Could this be factory or an add on by some gunsmith? Any ideas? Thanks.

It’s an add on I’m sure. I just realized they removed the mag tube piece that braces it against the barrel. Probably when they added the rib. Sorry.

Gloomy rainy day here in the Northwest (surprised face) so photo’s taken indoors.

Uh, what a shame. Bubba gunsmithing at its best.
