    Looking at an exploded view of a Hurricane there is a passage screw & washer........what's the purpose of the passage? Is it a result of a machining process into the cylinder that needs capping?

    It's as you say. These Webleys don't have the removable rear end cap of the earlier ones; consequently there is no access at the rear of the cylinder to machine the transfer port from the inside. As a result, it is drilled from the outside of the frame to join the cylinder with the 'visible' port, so therefore it partly needs sealing off with a screw & washer. No need to try to remove this generally.
