Of course Purdey would know how to line them up but, maybe J. Blanch & Sons didn't; as you can see in this picture below of the step down from the action down to the top rib. These barrels are assumed to be original to this Blanch. Might Purdey have done something similar or would Purdey never have allowed them to leave the factory like this?
