This video demonstrates a straightforward method for inspecting a side-by-side shotgun for a loose rib, a common issue that can lead to costly repairs. Larry Potterfield, founder of MidwayUSA, explains how to visually identify potential problems and uses a simple brass hammer tapping technique to confirm a solid rib. A distinct 'ping' sound indicates a good rib, while a 'thud' suggests a loose one. This inspection process is valuable for anyone considering purchasing a used double-barrel shotgun.
