6Yeah,it's not a metal screw,Brian and myself have taken out quite a few between us ...no left hand anything or ez out needed, it's ivory sn soft as say oak,easily drilled easily removed that's why it broke in the first place

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.
