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,
