Rick, there seems to be a 'double spur' on that butt plate... can you show us a better picture?

Thanks - I was hoping it was an anomaly from the factory.

Glass bedding.
Ricks gun also has a bad crack in the wood from lead in the butt. Expanded and caused the wood to split. I have seen this several times. Even on newer high end Berettas where they put lead in the butts from the factory. If you find a gun with lead in the butt... Get it out! |
Then how would you suggest it be re-balanced?

Now that the weather is improving and I can get back in the shop, we will find out I am thinking of putting in something like nice shot If nothing else it will raise the value of the gun :rotf: BTW - the barrel's marked weight on this one is 6lbs 7oz - hence the need for weight to balance |

Use something other than lead if need be. |
What would have the necessary weight and density to fill that cavity to the same weight?

i think the issue is that the lead was poured in the hole and expands when it cools so- if the lose shot-with a buffering to keep it form rattling - is not practical - I may cast a plug out side the gun to a hair under the hole's diameter - then sleeve it in a thin medium density sheet of plastic to accommodate expansion and slide it in - its always a possibility i may need an adjacent small hole for more weight to regain the balance |
