While walking thru a local flea market, I found a pile of rusted barrels. I picked out 3 that had no proof marks and looked American made for projects. I had never seen a ventilated rib in person on a LC Smith, so I did not realize what I had just bought. Needless to say I was happy when I started to clean them up and look them over! They are missing the bottom rib, and the top rib is ready to fall off. They might have been hot blued But the barrels have no dents or bulges,and the insides will clean up nicely. Now I have a good reason to start another project. I have been looking around and found a couple project guns with bad barrels. Yes it was a good day at the flea market. Gary
