    I'm currently shoot a DeVault 391 conversion. Have the rib raised as high as it can toe and the com is all the way down--The current rib is 7/8" in the back & 3/8" in the front with 4 notches for adjustment-would like a rib that would be 3/4" in back & 1/2" in the front--anyone know a good machinist who could scan my rib and build me a new one

    How do you want your gun to shoot High or Flat?

    Dennis always thought the Mach had to shoot high due to fast trigger. He believed in high shooters for trap

    I also have an Infinity, the late Dean Debow, said" let me see your gun" and he said" you have to set the Infinity @ 140% high" I did that & the gun vaporized targets like no other gun-- I'm shooting the 391 because I'm still on the mend from back surgery & its 1.3 lbs lighter than my Infinity--which is trap gun. Trying to get into more diversified clay target shooting while I'm on the mend

    Forgot to mention I had Briley make an offset choke for the 391 , going to try it out when I get to the range.

    I will also recommend Bo Elder, he made me a rib for a MX10RS double to shoot lower POI.

    I will recommend Bo Elder also. He made a rib for my bt99 plus to give me the sight
    pitcher I wanted with a higher POI than I could get with factory rib. I have pictures
    if you want to see them. High quality work.
