If that’s really a hole that (for whatever reason) goes all the way through, have it professionally microwelded and finished and enjoy shooting it.
Personally, if it were mine and the hole is no bigger inside the barrel than what we see on the outside, I wouldn’t really be concerned... but that’s just me - others would err on the side of caution. Odds are that your grandfather didn’t even notice it and just shot it and shot it and shot it.
