Yes, there is a dedicated Vickers site at Weapons Online. The correct way for the barrel to be fitted is with the chamfered feed ramp at the top. The other purpose of the T bolt is to attach the side plate for the dial sight.

There are two lengths of the T handle. One for with the fixed line sight bracket and another without. Also, the slightly indented head on one of the T's is for stripping the lock. It allows you to push out the lock cross pins without damaging them.
