Do you feel the rib was liberated from another arm or was it perhaps a universal type rib intended as an upgrade for the amateur machinist/budding gunsmith?

The thin sheathed metal over brass had me speculating 1800's technology. Though if so it could've continued well into the 20th century where cheap labour again matches well w/lower technology in manufacturing.

If they had left the muzzle alone it would have looked exceedingly better to the casual glance.
