On the late marlin era guns that had the aluminum ribs are they glued to a steel rib which is soldered up under it or are they glued directly to the barrels? I would think strength was lost not having a soldered rib on top. If so was there more bridging between the barrels to compensate? I was reading in brophy's about the aluminum rib and it sparked my interest.
