I see Reeder is building them for Ruger SA. There’s a pic of a stainless one in his forum.

Not my cup of tea. Very blocky looking to me. Needs some refinement maybe

I would bet that rib is soldered on rather than milled from the barrel blank. I agree, it needs refinement. If the OD fo the barrel could be increased it would decrease the height and blockiness of the rib. Also, the transition to the main frame could be massaged.
Rather than a solid rib, I'd like to see a full length dovetail rail that you could mount an optic on, solid not slotted, like you'd find on a Panda rifle. Similar aesthetic, increased utility.

I agree with all above.

Solid rib must be going around. I saw this beast at Jack's shop today. "High And Tight"..!

I would have to pass on that design.

Looks like someone sacrificed a Buckeye 38-40/10mm!

I think the solid rib setup would look much better on the super redhawk to help smooth the frame to barrel lines.

Looks like someone sacrificed a Buckeye 38-40/10mm! It was a normal Blackhawk 44-40/44Mag convertible. Material has been added. Material has been removed. |

Also that octagonal full ribbed barrel is monolithic from barrel stock.

The front of the frame looks to be time consuming. I'm kinda partial to this one.  |

No doubt, the whole job was very time consuming!

I have to say I really like the full rib barrel
