Not all stocks with lead in them are going to crack from being filled. This is an L.C. Smith Quality 2E from 1896 that had a 7/8" plug put in. The Records Letter states in one column that guns weighs 9lbs and shoots tight. It is a 12 gauge. The customer wanted the gun to be a specific weight and Hunter Arms did so.
