If a gun was built at Ilion (post mid 1937) then it would have had a weep hole originally. If it was an earlier gun that was re-blued by Remington during manufacture or up to the time that they stopped factory service (early 1950s) then it would have a weep hole, BUT also a remington repair code on the barrel flats.
So, if you are looking at a gun that is prior to the move to Ilion, and it has a weep hole, but no repair codes, then it was reblued and weep hole drilled by some other party.
