Peter, yes thats probably where she will end up,
every experience I have had with FN gunsmiths has totally piXXed me off. The gun design is fantastic - hence I keep buying them - its the idiots that assemble them thats the problem! any problems you are better paying for and sorting independently with a good brit gunsmith.
Even one of Browning's very very senior bosses (no names mentioned to safeguard his future!) said FN were 10% of Brownings production but 90% of the problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just wondering whether its better to leave the gun as is until the rib might come loose or get it fixed now.
