I've seen a real late DL in 243, I believe about the last year of DL production that didn't have the rear sight boss. I think they must have gone to the straight tapered barrel on DL's and F's before the end of production. I believe the earlier F's in 358 had the lightweight barrel with rear sight boss. David
