No, the Oryx is a conventional bonded core soft. It isn't an H section or solid shank bullet, so no problem there.

My opinion, and this was confirmed by JJ Perdou at Champlin, when he repaired it, was that it was caused by a contaminated/poorly done solder joint. JJ supected that the "repair" consisted of simply reheating the old/bad joint. When he did the repair, he removed the entire rib, cleaned it down to bare metal, and started from scratch. His work was first rate.
Yep, I'd be unhappy too. Anybody who knows their way around double guns should know better than to try to tack down a loose rib. The only reliable fix is to strip it off, clean up the mess, relay it properly and re-black. J. J.'s work is superb, but it's unfortunate that it came to that and had to come out of your pocket. I know roughly what J. J. charges for relaying a loose rib and re-blacking. Ouch. He isn't cheap, but it's done right.
