L. Brown, my gun does have these features, with the rib being low, ventilated, and concave on top. At a quick glance, its hard to tell that it is vented. The stock has a black plastic buttplate marked CD and black plastic grip cap. Fore-end removal is accomplished by pushing a piece that looks like a small wheel set in the center of said forward (probably should have included all this in my first post). Its a very nice and seemingly well-made gun, but just sits in the safe unused, and I think a 28 sxs would see a lot more sunshine... Again, any and all info is greatly appreciated.
That type of forend latch is another rather unique feature of those guns. You definitely have a Beretta-made Charles Daly.
