There may be a small section of rib that is slightly loose. No big deal ! Shoot it and enjoy it and if rib comes loose have ribs relaid.It is possible to spot repair also.Bobby

If rib has been relaid properly it will look like a factory job and barrels are usually reblued. Sloopy work could show solder not cleaned up and removed properly along sides of rib and barrel joint.
