I'm going to try the bolt takedown. Preferably on a day when I have nothing planned!
Oh yeah, what's up with the small hole drilled halfway in the barrel?

Sanded, non-matching example.

Did national pride prevent adopting a proven off the shelf design? It must of been expensive for DWM to tool up in order to make a new design for a limited contract.

What hole? you have a picture?

What hole? you have a picture?

He may be referring to a port drilled into the siderail.

Hold on.....I'll get a pic.

Here it is....it's not even drilled all the way through.

The hole you are referring to, is the place where the rear sight screw was, before the barrel got re bored and re chambered then indexed by turning it on quarter turn.

My Vergueiro was indexed by even turning the barrel 1/2 a turn.
