It's definitely a Simmons rib as the pictures show. . Lots of history on the Winchester/Simmons relationship. Supposedly the Simmons folks came to the Winchester factory to put the vent ribs on.guns as a retro fit.

This needs a new home.

I would consider a trade for a Colt LE6940 with restricted roll mark
or
a Browning BSS 20g
or
a Colt Single Action Army .357

Win model 42's with Simmons ribs are correct and will even letter. It is not after market. Simmons will still rebuild model 42's to look like it came out of the factory. I had a good friend send one in last Winter for a rebuild and upgrade. Absolutely beautiful. This is a nice gun at a fair price.
