I've not seen one with a barrel pre WWII but as I said my sample of W&S rifles is limited. I had assumed they would have been used right away but the only ones I've seen had late barrels on them.
They were plugged when assembled? As I stated above the ones I've seen weren't? Trying to figure out if there was an SOP to plug them and someone felt lazy the day some of them were put together. I do thank you for the above information, would like some clarification on these questions however.
