IMO, if the rib soldering was done after the brazing, the soldering heat would have no effect on the previous brazing.

I usually get perfect ringing (on a gun with tight ribs) via simply hanging the barrels from a finger (with a thick pad placed an inch below the muzzles for safety) and knocking/striking the barrel(s) with a knuckle of the off hand.

Since I'm not adept at rib soldering, as long as the rib's not loose, I wouldn't fool with it.
