| | rib | Explanation:
The first reference link is to a diagram from Beretta, at page 4 of their catalogue, identifying a spång as the rib on a shotgun barrel. The second link is a vocabulary I found that links the Swedish and English terms.
The spång/rib on a barrel dissipates heat from a weapon that is fired repeatedly in a short period. |
