    Where can I buy 3/8'' wide steel rib material? Place I want to buy from is out of stock.
    Need some for a future O/U build.

    You could always use aluminum

    May just do that. Go to my local sheet metal shop and have them shear off a 3/8'' wide piece. Then solder on the steel L brackets to barrel and bolt on the short 4.5'' high rib to that. This would even be lighter then what's on my Perazzi.
