Yes. That is what we are speaking of and that is where smith put them.

The term “weep hole” has been around since gunmakers started drilling them.

I sent a set of beautiful yet worn and grungy 4-iron Damescus Parker barrels out to be refinished and they came back nicely done but with a plugged weep hole... that wasn’t there before I sent them. They had never been refinished before. Guy swore he didn’t do it.... :shock::cuss:

Thanks guys, came here to learn, appreciate the info. I vaguely remember the concept, although not necessarily the term.

Was curious so looked in safe and got Smiths out. Grades field, ideal, skeet, specialty and crown. Years 1942, 1930, 1939, 1950 and 1927. Hope this is helpful. James

Wonder why the middle gun(1939) doesn't have the hole?

It does. It is plugged and is farther forward.
