Very Cool!
so, is that rib milled into an oversized octagon barrel? Or, is that rib soldered on the standard octagon barrel? ..must be a heavy bugger.. (do you have a close-up of the muzzle, a solder seam might be visible if it was two-pieced.

The front sight mounting and barrel stamping on the rib are very cool details! Why would that rib have been an attractive option? not like the octagon barrel needed stiffening, or would have benefited from the aided sight line...
