I have had several barreled actions from the 1930's with brazed ribs made by Britte in Belgium. Despite what some folks believe, it was a very real process and the ribs will never have to be relaid (gaud forbid). I simply can't imagine redeveloping this method for a single project. And then you would have to figure out how to fire blue them?!? But then again, there are lots of folks doing things I can't imagine these days.
That's a great town you live in Jerry, I haven't been there in a couple of decades.
