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

I have seen two stocks split that had lead plugs in them. Not sure I would bet on drilling the center out, as it is the oxidation on the outside of the lead plug against the wood that causes the expansion.

Yup, after drilling out as much of the center as possible, drill a hole that includes an edge of the plug as well as a bit of wood, leaving room for the plug to move.

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 .

Plug
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, |
