I would have figured the hole was for a pin. A retention pin for the mount the gun sits in? I assume the large lug on the bottom just like the breech end of a muzzle loader barrel is meant to take the full force of the recoil and the pin would simply be there to stop the gun from bouncing out or from accidentally being shoved out while throwing it around (on its swivel mount)? Same way you put a cotter pin on your trailer hitch pin or on the end of a clevace bolt
Or maybe it it just locked the gun in the mount while it was being transported then it was removed when in use?
I'd be curious to see the type of mount a gun like this would have been placed in
