It has probably been reamed. Many of the military contract guns have. A few weeks ago at the Tulsa show I got excited when I saw a Navy gun on a table. I asked to see it, and the seller quickly let me know he was motivated to sell (my kinda guy
). It was all righteous EXCEPT for the fact someone had reamed ONE chamber all the way through!
Some are converted very professionally, but a common 3/8" drill bit can be used.......
