Pattern 1914 Winchester with modified muzzle brake design

[Melanie_Daniels]

A similar rifle is in the Royal Armories - with front sight. The description tells that there were made 16 small holes on the top side of the barrel and than they made a modified Lewis muzzle cone above them to direkt the muzzle blast upwards. This Tests were made in about 1935.

16 small holes on the top side of the barrel

In the last pic you can see from the top that the holes go right through the bottom too, still something like what you describe...
