The idea was to use the short section of rib as a visual reference to draw the eye to the front bead, but save the weight of the (then solid) rib the rest of the brl. Some French guns have another short section of rib at the muzzle. Here's another described as an "invisible rib" http://www.gunsamerica.com/guns/976435615.htm
