No, there are no pounding marks evident. Plus, there are no signs of abuse anywhere else on the gun. I’m guessing that the plugs may not have been glued properly, and just pushed in with use. Who knows? I think the only real fix would be to drill them out, install a new set, and re-checker the butt. But then I would have a modified gun.
Someone else will ponder this when I’m long gone.
