The early VR guns I have seen did have the V groove or notch milled into the ramp, can't say I have seen that style before. It was discussed on the forum a few months ago where the early VR guns were ordered or built for stock before PB offered the VR as an option. I recall that it was reported that early VR guns were given to notable shooters to use. Point being is that there were most likely early VR guns that were not documented. I "think" in that same thread it was reported that a BH dated to 1918 with a factory VR was known to exist.
