It is probably more common to find evidence of a wooden plug that caps off the hole bored for adding a lead weight billet for balance than to find one that is actually the end of a patented hickory reinforcing rod in the butt.

My 16ga Trojan has a similar dowel which I asked about some time back, here:
http://parkerguns.org/forums/showthread.php?t=3917
I ultimately took it to my dentist who was also a gun enthusiast. He x-rayed it for me; it extends into the stock about 3". No evidence of the hole going in further, nor evidence of any weight, etc. A mystery!
