No Extra holes for me. 

I won’t be going after it, even if it hammers at a lower number.

Thanks for looking out Bert. Smile

Here is a decent M43 Hornet (though it does have two extra holes in the barrel).  It should make a nice shooter grade rifle.

Any idea why someone D&T’d the barrel? nice looking rifle.

Most likely to put one of the longer tubed scopes on it (e.g. Lyman Target Spot).

Good eye! I didn’t notice they weren’t factory D&T’d until I zoomed in.
