The answer is because Remington felt they had to. That was their standard practice. Just like Ithaca and LC Smith did also. And Parker Bros. in Meriden felt they did not have to.

Really a weep hole creates more issues than it prevents. If a barrel set has good tight solder joints, then there is no reason for a weep hole.

Barrels finished on guns made at Ilion, NY by remington would have them. And also on guns set back to Remington for Repair work (if barrels were finished) would have them.
