Aside from the sheathing on the S/G barrel they installed an aluminum Picatinny rail on the barrel.
The Picatinny rail is used for mounting a scope -- although no scope was actually mounted.

Jaynes gun is a Lemat. Very little modification has been done to it, just a stanag rail on the top.
Could someone elaborate or clarify this please? I've been searching for Picatinny rails and Stanag rails, and neither appears to match what's on top of the gun in this series of pics:

Thanks in advance for your help.

"stanag" just means it's a NATO standard. I believe Picatinny and stanag rails are the same.. and neither one is what's on Jayne's pistol.
That looks to be custom machined -- it doesn't match any rail I know of - the slots are too deep, too far apart, and I don't believe there's any groove to actually mount rings on it.
In other words, I think it's purely decorative. 
I heard some folks on another forum talkin' some about having repros of the "greeblies"machined out of aluminum to mount on Denix repros or Pietta LeMats, but I don't know if anything ever came out of it.
