I have a 16 ga. Grade AE with a loose rib. Any reasonable gunsmith you would recommend?

Several people have endorsed Jon Hosford from Ann Arbor, Mi. He has not done any work for me, but people speak very highly of him. That’s who I would contact.

I don't know where you are located but Steve Bertram in Colorado repaired a loose rib on my A grade 16.

Sadly, the term “loose rib” pops every now and then. Once you have the problem fixed, a follow up report might be nice.
