From what I can tell, sometimes the screw is visible in the rib extension and sometimes not. I would have thought that it would have been possible to blind tap it but if it was always through bored, then logically it would be easier to hide the screw in a similar steel material with no pattern.

The screw starts out high headed and once the extension is fitted to the barrels/action, it is dressed down along with the rib to eliminate the slot. I have observed one or two examples where the slot is just barely left and filled with solder. As in the slot was a bit deep to be completely eliminated in the rib profiling.
