    Muffer I'd say that heavy barrels probably weren't marked HV if they never had the rear sight fitted. Those that had a sight bed fitted from factory would have been stamped to indicate it was sighted for high velocity MkVII. Mine certainly are. The Mottys and other commercial jobs probably aren't.
