Does an American Eagle lock open ?

I'll try to get the serial number and post it, but the gun isn't mine. My dealer has it and called me to try to find out what it is, as it has an un-marked un-serial numbered 30 cal artillery barrel on it, with the rear sight slot on the barrel filled in with an ivory or plastic insert (Clearly, the barrel has been changed, and I've never seen a 30 cal artillery barrel.... It doesn't appear to be relined, so perhaps Numerich or one of the parts houses had some made up at one time...). The toggle has the rear sight on it...
The gun also appears to have been re-finished, which was well done, but doesn't appear to be recent...

Truely a strange gun, which appears to have been re-worked for whatever reason, but the work appears to be of good quality.
