Oh shit thats the ad for my shotgun. Picked up a used 500 2 decades ago. Knew it was special cause it had the jeweled bolt and a 30 inch barrel. The original furniture looked like that but it was so fucked i replaced it.

Global warming necessitates a mirage free sight picture. Before Trump caused global warming, birds could be shot without ribbed bbls.

They were fighting Rem 870 sales with everything they thought the buyers wanted.

Machining was more expensive back then and the benefits from rib vents are small.

this. It can be done cheaply these days so why not

yeah

>>64917739
I think that cut down vent ribs look awesome. 18" is cool but NDA ones get cooler by the missing inch.

Old guns were usually double-barrel, and a vent rib wide enough to be functional would be absurdly large.

Yes, and? It's not a double-barrel so clearly my comment wouldn't apply to it.

If OP is a retard and he's calling a Mossberg 500 a "ye olde fashioned gun" he's ignorant. Whether that's a deliberate act or a sad fact I don't know. They had vent rib versions available very early on.

It was the same with Ithacas, there were various different options available depending on what you could afford. Basic models had no rib, the fancier grades did.

Same with Remington. Note the vent rib cost $25 more than a similar gun without one.

They originated on single barrel trap guns around the turn of the century.

the first model of the mossberg 500 came out over 60 years ago you fucking ESL retard. it's an old shotgun. the 1897 is over 125 years old and lacks a rib

Yes, and? It's still being produced today. It's still state of the art as far as pump shotgun tech goes. "Old" is not about the raw number of years, it's about generations of technology. Pump and auto-loading shotguns are modern. Break-actions and muzzleloaders are old.

>the 1897 is over 125 years old and lacks a rib
Duh, the rib wasn't invented until 1910.
