Keep a very close eye on that Scott. I have known of such added lead weights to oxidize so heavily that they expanded to the point of splitting the buttstock. When lead oxidizes over time it increases in size drastically.

Beautiful gun!

Yup, my eight gauge hammer gun had lead in the butt that cracked the wood. I drilled out the plug and repaired the crack. The plug will only come out without drilling if the hole is perfect or tapered toward the opening.

I may just drill out most of center which should relieve any possible pressure in future. Thanks.

The guy that donated the money for the John Paul Jones Arena at
UVA sold a GH 8 gauge I think it was at a Rock Island or
morphy’s auction a few years ago that had corroded and split the stock . Looked to be an easy enough fix if they got the majority of the lead out . If it were mine after they got the wood crack fixed I’d have replaces the lead with a brass rod .

Well got it out but wasn’t easy, apparently they drilled two angled holes in one forming a slight Y hole. Drilled out as much as possible but had to take remainder out a little at a time. To boot it had a little tab on end.

Ironically the gun now is balanced precisely on hinge pin,
