Chris and Brian, once the ivory insert is removed or broken off, what do you think about gluing a bead of your choosing to the remaining shaft? Ivory beads with no mounting shafts are much cheaper than ivory beads with shafts meant for use on shotguns. I have a few left over from an order I placed for ivory blocks for inlays. My ivory, both blocks and beads were ordered from Boone Trading and are not elephant ivory.
